Saudi Arabia vs South Korea Prediction and Match Preview

• South Korea is on a long 11-match unbeaten run across all competitions which includes three Asian Cup games from this season.
• Saudi Arabia also won three Asian Cup fixtures this season to extend their unbeaten thread to eight matches.
• South Korea has not lost a single head-to-head meeting against Saudi Arabia since 2005.

The in-form South Korean side will meet another in-form Asian Cup team in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday. South Korea is having an 11-match unbeaten run while Saudi Arabia follows an eight-match unbeaten streak.

Moving on, the group stage display of Saudi Arabia looks match better than South Korea’s. Despite playing with teams like Thailand and Oman, Saudi Arabia won two and drew one of their three group stage outings to claim the group title.

Meanwhile, South Korea started off with a win against Bahrain but drew the next two against Jordan and Malaysia. Following the above display, South Korea ended at second in the Group E table. However, the superiority in the head-to-head tradition and the exposure to different competitive campaigns gives a decent edge to South Korea here. By the looks of things, we expect a very interesting match between these two teams on Tuesday.

Recent Meetings

• South Korea can rely on the recent tradition since they follow a six-match unbeaten streak against Saudi Arabia.
• The last eight head-to-head meetings between the two saw the landing of under 2.5 goals ft.
• South Korea won two of their total three away clashes against Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia vs South Korea Prediction

South Korea’s last away defeat was against Brazil in the World Cup quarterfinals. Their only Asian Cup road trip in the group stage ended in a highly competitive 2-2 draw. On the other side, Saudi Arabia was winless in eight of the past 10 road trips. They lost six on that stretch too.

Another thing to be noted is that South Korea sealed a clean sheet victory over Saudi Arabia in their away clashes. All their meeting with Saudi Arabia boasting the hosting advantage had ended with goals under 2.5 ft which is worth enough noting. We therefore like to suggest South Korea to win as the main tip. Our second pick will be the under 2.5 goals and both teams to score: no combined tip.
