Tip and bets

1.71South Korea to win

In the history of head-to-head matches between these teams Iraq has never recorded a victory so far and we think that this tradition will live on. Iraq is looking poor even in matches against even opponents and South Korea is a much better side, so it will be hard for the hosts to even fight for a draw.

Koreans are unbeaten on eight consecutive matches, they recorded six victories during that period and they are playing with confidence even on away matches. We think that visitors will take the lead of the game since the first minutes and eventually get the three points.

Our prediction - South Korea to win

1.9total over two goals

Iraq has a chance to fight for the third spot, which will give them a chance for a play-off spot. Team will probably rely on counter-attacks to get the positive result. South Korea have some great players in the offensive line, so they have a great chance to get the victory and to take the lead in the group. We are expecting an interesting game with a number of goals.

Our second bet is on total over two goals
