Kuwait vs South Korea prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 14, 2024
In the Asian World Cup Qualifiers, Kuwait and South Korea will face off. The match is scheduled for Thursday, November 14, with a 15:00 CET kickoff. I suggest betting on the match winner.
Match Preview
Kuwait's main achievements lie in the distant past. Over recent decades, the team has not approached global accomplishments, such as qualifying for the Asian Cup or the World Cup.
In this qualifying cycle for the next World Cup, Kuwait’s chances are practically nonexistent. In their four matches, they have yet to secure a victory, with only one loss. Though they still have a shot at advancing to the next stage, they’ll be up against one of the continent’s strongest teams in their upcoming game.
South Korea, on the other hand, has consistently qualified for every World Cup since 1986. In the current qualifying tournament, they are on track to secure their 11th consecutive appearance in the tournament.
After a draw with Palestine, they went on to win three consecutive matches, establishing themselves as the leader of their group. Given the level of their opponents, South Korea’s eventual first place in the group is expected.
Match Facts
- Kuwait has gone four matches without a win.
- South Korea has failed to win only two of their last eight games.
- Kuwait scores an average of 0.6 goals per game at home, while South Korea scores an average of 3 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Kuwait: Abdulghafor, Al-Dosari, Al-Hajeri, Hajiya, Al-Enezi, Hani, Al-Enezi, Al-Dhafiri, Mayed, Al-Awadi, Nasser.
- South Korea: Cho, Lee, Kim, Cho, Sol, Park, Hwang, Bae, Lee, Lee, Son.
Head-to-Head
Kuwait has not beaten South Korea since 2000, losing their last four games with an aggregate score of 0-7.
Prediction
The visitors have a clear advantage in player quality. I believe South Korea should have no trouble taking three points, and I’m betting on their victory with a -1.5 goal handicap.
