South Korea vs Iceland: Top Free Betting Tips

South Korea host Iceland in their last friendly game before the World Cup at Hwaseong Stadium on Friday, 11 November. Tigers of Asia have got the back of a victory but Our Boys follow a winless momentum before this game.

Match Result Prediction: South Korea to Win

The teams have only one meeting against each other in Friendlies in January 2022 and South Korea thrashed Iceland by 5-1. The Tigers of Asia have a home advantage again in this game where the team is undefeated in the previous six attempts and won four of them. On the other hand, Iceland has seemed in trouble in most of the recent away outings and has won only once since June 2021 in an away venue. So we back South Korea to fancy their chances once again in front of the home fans.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

South Korea’s front line had a strong performance recently at home and added a total of 12 goals in the previous five attempts. But Tigers of Asia have also allowed goals in the majority of those attempts. On the contrary, Iceland has not collected a huge total recently but they should contribute to a high-scoring total as they have scored consecutively in the recent visits, scoring four in the last three visits. Hence, our next pick for this game would be a total of over 2.5 goals

Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 to South Korea

South Korea would be confident to have many chances in this game as the team has rattled the net more than once in five of the previous six home games. In opposition, Iceland has also conceded nine goals in the previous five away outings. But Our Boys have also missed the target only once in the previous eight visiting duels. As the last meeting featured a BTTS pattern, we believe to see the same with the expected scoreline of 3-1 in this game.
