Our prediction for the match South Korea vs Palestine
“The Taegeuk Warriors” are the only Asian team to have reached the semi-finals of the World Cup (and the current coach, Hong Myung-bo, was the captain then). It is remarkable that the tournament was a home one (in 2002), but Japan, the other host country, did not manage to do that. Generally speaking, the Koreans have not missed a single World Cup since 1986, and they again reached the play-offs in Qatar. “The Knights”, who have been playing as a national team since the end of the last century, have not reached such a level – their most serious trophy was the Asian Challenge Cup 10 years ago.
The Winter Asian Cup was a breakthrough for Palestine. It started with a 1-4 score in the game against Iran, but having taken a draw with the national team of the UAE and succeeding in the struggle with Hong Kong, the team reached the play-offs for the first time. Then the team immediately lost to Qatar. The Koreans made it to the semi-finals, not without problems, but only to play with a 0-2 result in the meeting with Jordan.
It was after the higher mentioned result that “Seoul” said goodbye to Klinsmann, calling on their legend. The specialist started with a misfire in the game against Thailand, but easily won the rest of the qualifying matches. “The Knights” beat Bangladesh twice, but finished the last round of the qualification with a home draw in the struggle with Lebanon and a 0-5 loss to Australia. Still, they squeezed through to the next level from 2nd place.
