South Korea vs Uruguay Prediction and Betting Tips | March 28th 2023

South Korea will host Uruguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Tuesday in a friendly clash between the two teams.

The home side faced Colombia in a friendly game on Friday and played out a 2-2 draw. A brace from team captain Heung-min Son saw the Taegeuk Warriors head into the break with a two-goal lead before their opponents scored a quickfire double early after the restart to ensure the game ended level.

Uruguay were also in action in Asia on Thursday, facing Japan at the Japan National Stadium in a game that ended 1-1. Real Madrid's Federico Valverde gave La Celeste the lead with his first international goal in almost a year before the Samurai Blue drew level 15 minutes from time.

The visitors endured a difficult World Cup campaign last year, prompting the resignation of head coach Diego Alonso after a group-stage exit. Marcelo Broli has been named interim boss and will look to lead La Celeste to victory this week.
