Palestine vs South Korea Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2024
Palestine will face South Korea at the Amman International Stadium on Tuesday in another game of their third-round 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The Lions have failed to impress in their World Cup campaign and look increasingly unlikely to turn things around as they remain rock-bottom in Group B with two points from an obtainable 15.
They were beaten 1-0 by Oman last time out and had looked set to be headed toward a much-needed point before their opponents capitalized on some lax defending to score a late winner.
South Korea, meanwhile, have performed strongly in their qualifying campaign and are closing in on an 11th consecutive appearance at the global showpiece. They beat Kuwait 3-1 in their last match with 3-1 in their game on Thursday with three different players getting on the scoresheet including team captain and star forward Heung-Min Son who netted his 50th goal for the nation to climb to second place in the all-time top scorer rankings.
The Taegeuk Warriors sit atop the group standings with 13 points from an obtainable 15 and will be looking to add to that tally this week.
Palestine vs South Korea Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Tuesday's game will mark just the third meeting between the two nations. South Korea are undefeated in their previous two matchups, picking up a win and a draw.
- The Lions are without a clean sheet in their last four matches and have managed just one in their last six.
- The Taegeuk Warriors are the highest-scoring side in Group B so far with a goal tally of 11.
- South Korea were ranked 22nd in the latest FIFA Rankings and now sit 78 places above their midweek opponents.
Palestine vs South Korea Prediction
Palestine have lost three of their last four matches and are winless in their last seven. They have struggled both defensively and offensively in recent games and will head into the clash as massive underdogs.
South Korea are on a four-game winning streak and are undefeated in their last nine games across all competitions. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two nations, coupled with their contrasting form, should see the Taegeuk Warriors win this one.
