Pick:1x2 South Korea @1.53
Analysis:
South Korea and Egypt will head into an
international friendly in Seoul on Tuesday.
South Korea
South Korea suffered a heavy loss to Brazil, but they got 1 win and 1 draw in other 2 rounds against Chile and Paraguay. In the past few games, several players playing for the European Leagues have shown good strength and status.
Egypt
Egypt had previously lost to Senegal in the
World Cup Qualifiers and missed the finals, and their performance in the last
two Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers has not been very good as they had only 1
win and 1 loss. And they were even beaten by Ethiopia with 0:2. To be
mentioned, their top star, Salah, will still be absent in the squad due to
injury.
Verdict:
Both sides are in closed strength, but Salah's absence tipped the scales for victory. In addition, South Korea's attitude towards this Friendly game is far more serious than Egypt's, so South Korea will be expected higher in this game.
