South Korea vs Iran: Top Free Betting Tips

Iran and South Korea dominated the qualifications and have been qualified for a while now. Neither side needs to fight for placement and it doesn't really matter which team will win the group when both get qualified.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

South Korea and Iran have a lot of history between them in terms of football. These two nations have been playing in multiple WC Qualifiers and friendly internationals in the past decade and most games had few goals. In fact, eight out of eight head-to-head games in recent years ended with less than 2.5 goals. Even with a game that has no significance, we do not expect to see less defense and more goals from these two teams.

Match Result – Draw

The first game between South Korea and Iran also ended in a 1:1 draw. We honestly do not believe that there is a more likely result for this fixture either. These two teams have been absolutely equal over the course of these qualifications. Both sides have not lost a game yet and even without a real meaning behind this fixture, neither side will want to finish below the other or with a defeat. We expect another draw and 1:1 seems like the most possible result again.

Alternative Corners – Under 10

Neither South Korea or Iran are among the national teams in Asia that take loads of corners. Their styles to not fit this aspect of the game, which is why we see them take corners only in matches that they dominate – against weak defenses. The defenses of SK and Iran, however, are incredible and we do not expect to see 10 corners. The previous match between them had 8 too.
