Command Analysis

Syria

Syria national team has never played in the World Cup and won't be able to qualify for 2022 World Cup as well - Syrian players will be able to go to Qatar only as spectators. Team failed to advance through group stage in the most recent Asian Cup.

At the first stage of qualifying tournament Syrian side won all matches, but after seven rounds of the third stage team is at the bottom spot in the group. Valeriu Tita's men managed to get only two draws, which brought them two points, team also has the worst defensive record in the group. In the most recent match Qasioun Eagles were beaten by UAE (0:2).

South Korea

South Korea national team played in ten editions of the World Cup, 20 years ago they earned a fourth place, it is their best result so far.

Tip and bets

TipHandicap (-1) on South Korea

2.13

In this match we offer to place a bet on Korean team, their squad is better on paper, plus they are motivated for a victory. The Red Devils didn't lose a single match at the current stage and we don't think that they will be beaten by a modest Syria, who has to play away from home.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1) on South Korea

Will the prediction win?

Tiptotal over 2 goals

1.92

We are not expecting a goalless match - Syria has nothing to lose now, which might become a motivation boost for the nominal hosts. South Korea has a great offensive line, so we offer to place a bet on total over.

Our second bet is on total over 2 goals
