1.70Tip and bets
It is worth noting that the hosts are desperately fighting in every match and have never lost with a big score in this selection. Even Iran managed to resist in the last match, so we believe that it will definitely not be easy for Uzbekistan here. It is worth betting on an outsider with a positive handicap.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (+1) on DPRK for 1.73
Bet on total
The hosts are unlikely to actively attack in this match and will most likely try not to concede first. The North Koreans are doing quite well in defense, so they will not allow a crushing score. The visitors will clearly try to break through the defense of their unyielding opponent, but are unlikely to score more than one goal. We suggest betting on the total under.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.75
Bet on corners
We believe that the game will be closed, which means that we can't expect many corners. The opponents are unlikely to reach the mark of nine corners.
Bet - total under 8.5 corners for 1.99
