South Korea vs Portugal 2022 World Cup Predictions

With just one previous duel between South Korea and Brazil, these teams haven’t been tested enough against each other. The following are our best free predictions for Portugal vs South Korea 2022 World Cup clash:

First-half result prediction: Portugal

Bet on Portugal to score against South Korea, the first goal of the encounter and win the first half of the match. The Portuguese are a hard nut to track. They are well-stocked defensively and have been consistent performers in top global football tournaments. Even though they won the group already, they will not disappoint in this match.

Team to score prediction: BTTS

The second possible outcome in this clash is goals on both ends of the pitch. South Koreans have had some good runs lately. They played 15 games in 2022 before the WC, losing only three of them. The team still has a chance to qualify for the 1/8 finals and they need to score goals in this match.

Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Portugal

Defeating Portugal in a previous encounter, which happened to be a World Cup encounter at home in 2002 was a sweet victory. This clash with Portugal, the second in the history of the teams should be another chance, albeit a win will be hard to come by. Bet on Portugal to win 2-1 in this 2022 World Cup clash with South Korea.

South Korea vs Portugal 2022 World Cup Fixture Preview

South Korea

The South Korean team has come a long way in this World Cup. First, the Asians tied with Uruguay and then the team lost to Ghana. Before the final round, the Koreans are in 3rd place in the group, they only need a victory to qualify and a good result in the other match from the group. There should either be a draw and then South Korea should win by no less than 2 goals or the victory of Uruguay, then again it will depend on the difference with which Uruguay and South Korea will win their matches. In general, I like the team at this tournament, Korea has never been a star team, but has always been distinguished by the work capacity inherent in teams from Asia.

Portugal

The Portugal national team won both matches of the group stage and is approaching the 3rd round in the status of a team that has already secured a place in the playoffs. In the worst case, the team can drop to the 2nd line. Surely the Portuguese national team will have a rotation in this game, but how strong is the question? It seems to me that we will not see a very experimental squad, but some leaders like Bruno Fernandes may well remain on the bench. And of course, Ronaldo, who, on the one hand, loves to play the whole match from start to finish, but on the other hand, is already at a respectable age and it would be nice to save him before much more important relegation games.
