Game Prediction
Speaking about this autumn, the qualifying for the World Cup began on a number of continents. There has also been a struggle in Asia since November. On Tuesday, several matches of the 2nd round will be held there. The confrontation between the national teams of the neighbours, China and South Korea, stands out. The journalists of the website have compiled a prediction for the match on November 21, 2023.
China has never achieved a breakthrough in this sport
“The Dragons” represent one of the largest countries in the world. And they have the same number of appearances at the World Cup as Iceland with its 300 thousand inhabitants. And the debut, which happened in 2002, turned out to be a failure: the team lost all 3 matches with a total score of 0-9. Then, “the Celestial Empire” invested a lot of money in football, a lot of the stars were invited – still, it could not improve itself in the “game of millions”. Taking into account a couple of previous years, less money “came” here. Now, being under the rule of Alexander Jankovic, the team is far from being successful – the specialist and his players were booed after the defeat made by Syria in a friendly match. The Chinese began their qualification in Thailand. And they were able to win, albeit minimally, with a 2-1 score.
South Korea is considered a continental favourite
“The Taegeuk Warriors” have not missed a single World Cup since 1986. Moreover, it managed to reach the semi-finals at the “home” tournament, in 2002 – a level that is prohibitive for Asia. It didn’t work out again, but the team overcame the group stage again in Qatar. Now, a fully capable squad has been assembled again, and the main stars from the top clubs of Europe have arrived (it is reasonable to mention not only Son from Tottenham, but also Kim from Bayern, Hwang from Wolverhampton and Lee Kang-in from PSG). The team started the new cycle in Singapore – there was a 5-0 success, where many of the mentioned leaders scored the goals.
Previous head-to-head matches
The last time the Chinese won was in 2017. And all 3 previous matches ended in victories for South Korea.
Free prediction for the match China vs South Korea on November 21:
It is unlikely that the Koreans will now repeat the defeat, which they made in the previous round. Still, they are still stronger than the opponent – thus, we expect their victory with “a -1.5 goal handicap” (odd: 1.76).
