Palestine vs South Korea Prediction & Betting Tips (19 November)

With only 2 points taken in 5 days in this 3rd qualifying round, Palestine should not be able to win the first ticket in its history for a World Cup. This is in fact already 4 lengths behind 4th place, the last qualifier for the play-offs. Things are not going well at the moment for the Lions of Canaan who have been defeated 3 times during the last 4 days played against Jordan 1-3, Iraq 1-0, Kuwait 2-2 and finally against Oman 1-0 last week. Opposite, South Korea, for its part, is very well on its way to qualifying for the World Cup again.

They are indeed very well established at the top of the ranking of their group, already 5 lengths ahead of their first pursuers halfway through this 3rd qualifying round. The Saeguk Warriors had only been held by Palestine 0-0 during the first day before achieving 4 victories in a row against Oman 1-3, Jordan 0-2, Iraq 3-2 and finally Kuwait the week last 1-3.

Palestine cannot count on the services of its defender Jondi (12 selections) while his partner in the defensive sector, Batran, author of 6 goals in the selection, no longer seems to fit into his coach's plans. On the other hand, naturalized defender Saldana is back after being suspended when striker Tamer Seyam (13 goals in 65 games) is doubtful after missing last week's match. Despite some pretty good statistics with his selection, striker Dabbagh (16 goals in 41 caps) is still looking for his first goal in this qualifying group. On the contrary, Abou Ali (6 sels, 2 goals) scored twice in this group.

For its part, South Korea, for its part, relies on a much more solid group where we obviously find the star Heung-Min Son (Tottenham) who scored his 50th in 130 caps last week. Other stars appear in this squad such as defender Min-Jae Kim (Bayern Munich, 68 sel), midfielders Jae-Sung Lee (Mainz, 93 selections, 13 goals) and Hwang In-Beom (Feyenoord, 65 sels, 6 goals) and Parisian Lee Kang-In (PSG, 34 sels, 10 goals). On the other hand, the goalkeeper Injured starter Kim Seung-gyu and long-term injured striker Cho Gue-sung (9 goals in 39 games) are absent from this gathering.
