LiontipsDPRK vs. Uzbekistan. Prediction and bets on the World Cup qualifying match
Command Analysis
Current form
The DPRK team started having problems in the second stage of the World Cup selection, but still managed to take second place in their quartet. They failed to compete for first place with Japan, but managed to get ahead of Syria and Myanmar. Now the North Koreans have much more serious opponents - they have not even managed to leave the last place. In four matches, the nominal hosts managed to score only two points - they managed to draw with Qatar (2:2) and the UAE (1:1). In other matches, Shin Yong-nam team lost to Uzbekistan (0:1), Kyrgyzstan (0:1), and a few days ago to Iran (2:3).

Trends
Bet Exact score 0:1
The visitors have won two of their last three games with this score.
6.00Bet At least one team will not score
This bet has played in four of the visitors' last six matches
1.70Bet Number 1 in the final score
This pattern has worked in four of the hosts' last six matches
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
