Top-3 Predictions for Lebanon vs South Korea
Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: South Korea Win – 1.59
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Draw or South Korea Win and Under 2.5 Goals – 1.80
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: South Korea -0.5 Goals Handicap – 1.57
South Korea Win
A nine-match undefeated run makes South Korea the favorites to win this match. Moreover, the Tigers of Asia have not lost to Lebanon in the last seven h2h meetings. According to statistics, there is an 80% chance for South Korea to win. Lebanon lost their two home matches in the third stage of the World Cup qualifiers.
Draw or South Korea Win and Under 2.5 Goals
Lebanon managed to draw twice at home in the last six meetings with South Korea. The stats show a 20% chance for a draw in this match. As for the total goals, Lebanon’s last four matches in all competitions saw under 2.5 goals. And three of the last four h2h meetings also saw under 2.5 goals.
South Korea -0.5 Goals Handicap
With the very high probability of a South Korea win in this match, we think a 0.5 goals handicap in favor of the Tigers is an obvious bet. South Korea’s last three wins over Lebanon were by one goal. Hence the odds of 1.57 for a -0.5 handicap seems a very good bet.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Lebanon vs South Korea
Reaching the third stage of the World Cup qualifiers was itself a big accomplishment for Lebanon. To explain, the cedars have reached this round for the first time in their history. At 95, Lebanon is ranked the lowest among all Group A teams on the FIFA ranking system.
The Cedars lost their two home games against the UAE and Iran and now have to beat South Korea to challenge for third place that qualifies for the fourth stage of the qualifications.
Lebanon’s main weakness is their fitness as they concede goals late in their matches. Against Iran, the Lebanese team were leading by 1-0 but still lost after conceding two goals in stoppage time.
South Korea are one of the best teams in Asia as they have not missed playing in the World Cup finals since 1986. The Tigers are very close to qualifying for their 11th World Cup appearance. Paulo Bento’s team are in excellent form and are undefeated in their last four away games in the WCQ.
In their last ten matches, South Korea had five clean sheets and scored in all ten of them. An overall goalscoring average of 2.40 shows how Paulo Bento’s team has a very dangerous attack. Defensively also, the Tigers are very solid at the back conceding just two goals in six matches in the final stage.
Therefore the visitors have all it takes to come out victorious in this match and probably secure their ticket to the World Cup finals.
Safe Bets
South Korea scored in the second half of six of their last eight WCQ games. To be exact, the Tigers scored ten goals after the break in these six games as opposed to five in the first half. Thus, we believe backing South Korea to score in the second half against Lebanon, is a good and safe choice.
Lebanon vs South Korea First Goalscorer
Jae-Sung Lee has played 59 games for South Korea and scored nine goals. He plays his club football for Mainz in Germany. The 29-year-old was on target for South Korea against Iraq and we will back him to open the scoring against Lebanon.
