South Korea vs Bosnia & Herzegovina Prediction & Betting tips
In South Korea, in the approximately 42,000 -seater “Jeonju Stadium”, there is a friendly clash between the South Korean national team and the team of Bosnia-Herzegovina. While the hosts prepare for the upcoming World Cup in Russia, the Bosnians are only allowed to participate as spectators. In preparation, Bosnia is certainly an optimal opponent for the Asians. After all, top stars like Edin Dzeko or Miralem Pjanic, who show great performances week after week in the Italian Serie A, are in this national team.
South Korea:
The South Korean team will face Russia in Group F with Sweden, Mexico and the reigning World Champion Germany. Since the group opponents are quite stronger, a progress in the knockout round would be a surprise. Most likely, Tae-Yong Shin’s team is fighting for second place behind Germany. Before the first group game on 18 June against Sweden are still waiting two test matches. After the upcoming match against Bosnia, South Korea will also play against Bolivia.
The final test against Honduras ended in a 2-0 victory. South Korea was the favorite and did justice to this role. In the two test matches in March this year, the team each drew the short straw. They lost 2-1 to Northern Ireland and Poland won 3-2.
The country’s biggest hope and superstar is Heung-min Son, one of the top contributors to Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. The offensive player scored 18 goals in all competitions at Tottenham this season and added another eleven. In addition to Son, Sung-yong Ki from Swansea City and Ja-cheol Koo from Augsburg are among the well-known faces in Europe. Even the young Hee-chan Hwang is considered the bearer of hope of the South Korean national team. He caused a sensation with RB Salzburg in this European League season when they were able to reach the semi-finals.
Bosnia:
Bosnia-Herzegovina missed the qualification to jump on the train to the World Cup in Russia. In a qualifying group with Belgium, Greece, Estonia, Cyprus and Gibraltar actually counted only the Greeks for direct competitors for second place, which justified the play-off. Belgium was one size too big for the group opponents. The Greeks finally secured second place ahead of Bosnia and buried the hopes of Dzeko and Co. to take part in the World Cup.
After this disappointing qualifying, the team of coach Robert Prosinecki did not manage to get back on track. Despite absolute top players such as Edin Dzeko and Miralem Pjanic in their ranks, the performances of the Bosnian team were quite sobering last. The last two friendly matches against Montenegro and Senegal ended in goalless draws, Bulgaria could be defeated with a meager 0: 1, before there was a 1-0 defeat to Mexico and against the US, the team did not go beyond a 0-0 , In the last game against Montenegro, the Bosnians were the better team, but failed clearly in the exploitation of opportunities. Dzeko, Pjanic or Edin Visca, who showed great form at Turkish club Basaksehir last season, are sure to do more than last.
