South Korea vs Czech Republic Preview and Team News
South Korea Team News
In their FIFA World Cup opener, South Korea will look to defeat the Czech Republic. They have won three of their last five outings, most recently recording a narrow 1-0 win over El Salvador in a friendly.
The Asian Tigers dominated the game, keeping 72% of the ball and registering 15 shots, including seven on target. However, they may be disappointed that their dominance produced few clear-cut opportunities.
Despite their overwhelming share of possession, they failed to create a single big chance. Still, the Asian Tigers impressed with their 90% passing accuracy.
Fortunately, the Koreans have no injury concerns heading into this fixture.
South Korea predicted lineup vs Czech Republic (3-4-2-1): S. Kim; G. Lee, M. Kim, H. Lee; T. Lee, J. Lee, I. Hwang, Seol; H. Hwang, D. Lee; Cho.
Czech Republic Team News
The Czech Republic, also known as Czechia, are unbeaten in their last five matches. They have scored 15 goals during that stretch while conceding six, with their only clean sheet coming in a dominant 6-0 win over Gibraltar.
Most recently, they defeated Guatemala 3-1 while deploying a dynamic 3-4-2-1 formation similar to what South Korea use.
Earlier, in a 2-2 draw with Denmark, wingback Vladimir Coufal played a key role, recording 88 touches and a 100% dribbling success rate. Central defender Ladislav Krejci also made an impact, scoring a goal while maintaining 100% shooting accuracy.
The Czechs also have a fully fit squad.
Czech Republic predicted lineup vs South Korea (3-4-2-1): Kovar; Krejci, Hranac, Chaloupek; Jurasek, Sadilek, Soucek, Coufal; Sulc, Provod; Schick.
South Korea vs Czech Republic Prediction
- Pick: South Korea to win or draw
- Odds: -256 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: South Korea 2-1 Czech Republic
South Korea are higher-ranked than Czechia, and we expect them to avoid defeat in this matchup. They sit 25th in the FIFA rankings, while the Czechs are 41st.
Moreover, the Asian Tigers defeated Czechia 2-1 in their previous meeting in 2016. The Koreans have been defensively stronger than the Czechs recently, keeping three clean sheets in their last five matches.
South Korea vs Czech Republic Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over two goals
- Odds: -147 (20Bet)
We expect this clash to produce a total of over two goals. This bet landed when South Korea and Czechia last met in 2016 (2-1), and both sides have shown strong attacking form coming into the tournament. While the Asian Tigers have scored seven goals across their last five games, the Czechs have netted 15 over the same span.
With both teams carrying offensive momentum and looking to make a strong start to their World Cup campaign, this matchup has the potential to produce several scoring opportunities.
