Can’t wait for the World Cup to start? Why not watch the football games at the qualifiers to have a peek at which nation will be heading to Russia. There are a good number of nations in the Asian front that will make for beautiful football and close betting odds.
Qatar vs Korea Republic
Use your football prediction skills on this match, and you will immediately see an image of Korea winning by a mile. The question now transitions to whether Korea will win by a goal or four.
Qatar only won one game out of their seven qualifying matches in Group A, and it was against a mediocre Syria side that fared a little better than them. While Korea did lose two games, including that shocking defeat to China PR, Korea are sitting pretty in second place.
Korea need this win in order to keep Uzbekistan out of the automatic qualification ticket, and the Uzbeks facing Iran could mean the Taegeuk Warriors have a chance at closing the four-point gap Team Melli built.
Korea Republic have a trove of European players they can rely on. Among the notable European players in Korea include ex-Porto man Suk Hyun-Jun, Koo Ja-Cheol, and Swansea’s Ki Sung-Yeung. Of course, the main cannon for Korea is Son Heung-Min. The Tottenham star scored seven goals in nine matches and is highly likely to score again.
Sporting Gijon’s Akram Afif might be the only European player of note in the Qatari side, but that doesn’t mean they’ll just roll over and die. The task of stopping Korea’s attack falls into the hands of Boualem Khoukhi and Mohammed Kasola. Meanwhile, Hassan Khalid will have to be industrious in the final third to force Qatar in the qualifying conversation (no matter how impossible that seems).
Korea fans travelling to Doha will have a wonderful time cheering for the Reds. Unless Jorge Fossati comes up with a brilliant counter, Qataris will be clenching to their seats for 90-odd minutes. Punters shouldn’t hesitate to pick Korea Republic -0.50 @ 1.78. If you’re feeling lucky enough, betting on a draw gives you 3.30 1×2 odds.
