Portugal - South Korea: prediction and bet on the World Cup 2022 in Qatar
Bogdan LashchenkoWe have prepared for you a prediction for the match Portugal - South Korea in group "H" at the World Cup 2022 in Qatar. The Portuguese have already guaranteed themselves a ticket to the playoffs, but South Korea should hope for a draw in the Ghana-Uruguay game, but the Koreans need to create a real sensation for the playoffs and defeat the Portuguese.
Portugal national team - Bruno Fernandes dragging his team
Portugal is ranked 9th in the FIFA rankings and 7th in the UEFA rankings. Portugal are playing confidently in this World Cup 2022 in Qatar, they were able to defeat Ghana (3:2) and Uruguay (2:0). Two forecasts for matches with the participation of the Portuguese successfully passed, against Ghana they hoped for two goals of the Portuguese, and against Uruguay they took a clear victory for 1.9.
According to statistics, Portugal scores an average of 2.2 goals per match, scored in 8 out of 10 matches, conceded in 4 out of 10. The top scorers are Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo, followed by Diogo Jota (misses this tournament). Of the assistants, I would mention Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.
Portugal have already secured their place in the playoffs, the match against South Korea is more to test new formations and players ahead of the upcoming playoffs. The Portuguese need to confidently defeat the Koreans to gain even more confidence.
South Korea national team - there is practically no chance of reaching the playoffs
South Korea is ranked 28th in the FIFA rankings. In group "H", the Koreans drew with Uruguay (0:0) and lost to Ghana (2:3). South Korea's top scorers are Son Heung-min, followed by Kwon Chang-hoon, Kim Shin-wook and Jo Kye-sung. Of the assistants, I would mention Kim Jinsu and Lee Jae Sung.
According to the statistics of South Korea: an average of 1.8 goals per match, scored in 8 out of 10 matches, conceded in 5 out of 10.
South Korea is an outsider in the game with Portugal, in order to get into the playoffs they need to defeat the Portuguese and count that Uruguay will not lose to Ghana. The main star of Koreans is Son Heung-min.
Portugal v South Korea: bet on World Cup 2022 in Qatar
Portugal is the favorite, South Korea is the underdog. The last time these teams played at the World Cup was in 2002, when the Koreans defeated the Portuguese (1:0) in the group stage.
Twice the forecasts for the Portuguese national team worked, the Portuguese play stably and the results of their matches can be predicted. I will assume that Portugal will win, but South Korea can catch on for one goal. The intrigue is to look at the tactics of the Portuguese specifically against the Koreans, since Portugal has no tournament motivation.
Of the interesting markets for the match Portugal - South Korea, I would note the following outcomes:
- Portugal beat South Korea by 1.63 (most likely outcome)
- Portugal win by 2 goals at 2.65
- Portugal individual total over 1.5 for 1.67 (minimum risk)
- South Korea not to score at 2.44
Prediction: Portugal will beat South Korea
