“Our initial prediction favors South Korea to win. South Korea enters this friendly match as the favorites, especially after their recent 1-0 victory against the visiting team. With a roster boasting world-class players, the hosts are expected to secure another win. While South Korea has been performing decently with a good streak of games, Thailand has struggled to maintain consistency, needing to significantly improve their performance to compete against the hosts.
Prediction: South Korea Win
Our second prediction leans towards over 1.5 goals, given the quality of players on both teams, particularly South Korea’s inclusion of key players from top-flight leagues. Anticipating an exciting match, we expect to see at least 1.5 goals scored.
Betting Tip: Goals over 1.5
Ranked 22nd in the FIFA standings, South Korea is among the favorites globally. The team has displayed excellence in the AFC Cup this year, with a strong track record of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 fixtures, albeit losing to Jordan in the AFC Asian Cup knockout stages in February. To secure victory, South Korea must maintain their gameplay dominance.
On the other hand, Thailand sits at the 101st position in the FIFA rankings, falling short of expectations. Despite an impressive performance in the AFC Cup group stages, their recent record of 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses in the last 5 fixtures highlights the need for improvement. To stand a chance against the hosts, Thailand must elevate their performance and capitalize on opportunities.
In head-to-head encounters, South Korea has secured one victory, while Thailand has yet to claim a win or draw.
Predicted Lineups:
South Korea: Hyeon-Woo, Young-Woo, Young-Gwon, Seung-Hyun, Tae-Hawn, In-Beom, Yong-Woo, Jae-Sung, Hee-Chang, Heung-Min Son, Kang-in Lee.
Thailand: Patiwat, Theerathon, Pansa, Elias, Nicholas, Weerathep, Pathompon, Worachit, Sarach, Rungrath, Supachai.”
