Our prediction for the match Kuwait vs South Korea
“The Blues” made it to the World Cup only once, in 1982. They did not participate in 2 previous Asian Cups: first, the team was disqualified, and then it did not qualify. Speaking about the World Cup qualification, the team, albeit with efforts, reached the decisive round. “The Taegeuk Warriors” remain the continental leaders. Still, the bet on Klinsmann turned into a heart attack Asian Cup in the winter, when his wards won only 1 match in the group, could have been eliminated already at the 1/8 stage, but finally reached the semi-finals, only to lose with a 0-2 score to Jordan.
After that, the local legend, Hong Myung-bo, became the coach. Being under his leadership, the team failed to win only against Palestine, ending that game in a goalless draw in the 1st round of the current stage. Then there were only victories – they happened in the struggles with Oman, Jordan and Iraq.
“The Blues”, as expected, are weak in such company. On the other hand, they lost only 1 out of 4 confrontations (that was a crushing 0-4 failure in the meeting with Oman). Speaking about the rest of the matches, there were draws: a 1-1 result in the game against Jordan and a 0-0 result in the struggle with Iraq in September, and a 2-2 draw in the match with Palestine a month ago.
