South Korea vs Syria Prediction & Analysis

South Korea currently sit in second place in Group A of the thirst qualifying round with 4 points on board, just 2 short of leaders Iran.

They come into this fixture on the back of a 0-0 draw at home against Iraq. In that game, South Korea had 69% of ball possession with 15 shots on goal with 5 of them on target.

They come into this fixture on the back of a 1-1 draw against UAE in their previous qualifying fixture. Mahmoud Al Baher scored a 64^th minute goal.

The visitors are struggling to find their winning form as their last victory came against Guam where they won 3-0 away from home. Consequently, they have got on the score sheet a few times.

As a result, we back the odds at 2.15 with goals over 2.5 in this fixture as both sides will be keen to get on the score sheet and have a good head start against the others.

At the same time, Syria and Korea will come out with an attacking approach given that they are still attempting to qualify for the World Cup. South Korea have a good scoring form at home, whereas Syria scored against UAE in their previous qualifying fixture.
