South Korea vs Georgia Prediction & Betting tips
South Korea and Georgia will have an important competition next week. To warm up, therefore, they take on Thursday afternoon in Istanbul, Turkey, in a friendly international match.
South Korea:
With an away game against Turkmenistan, South Korea will start its qualifying series for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar next week. The country is of course an absolute superpower in Asia, but the last international matches were relatively rough. Both in Busan against Australia (1-0) and in Seoul against Iran (1-1), The Taegeuk Warriors got no further than just a goal. National coach Paulo Bento will therefore have to find a way to get his vanguard going again.
Bento has put together an experienced selection, with natural supplier Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) as the major seasoning. However, it is obvious that the Portuguese exercise master will use the practice match against Georgia to see young talents such as Lee Dong-gyeong (Ulsan Hyundai) and Lee Kang-in (Valencia) at work. The better players will mainly be spared for Turkmenistan, so they will take no more than half into action.
Georgia:
For Georgia, the practice match against South Korea is in fact no more than an aperitif before the main course. Three days later, in the European Championship qualification, the squatter against Denmark is on the program. With a new defeat against the Scandinavians, The Crusader’s direct qualification for next year’s European Championship can be forgotten, although they could still place through the back door through the play-offs.
Just like South Korea, Georgia will undoubtedly start rotating to keep its best players as fit as possible for Denmark at home. However, that does not mean that the Caucasus country can certainly come out of the corner. Since the appointment of national coach Vladimir Weiss, the number 94 of the FIFA world ranking wins more than it loses, which in itself may be called an achievement. The best known names are the former Vitesse players Guram Kashia and Valeri Qazaishvili, who now earn their living at San Jose Earthquakes in the American MLS. However, the country will have to do without the injured star player Solomon Krvirkvelia (Lokomotiv Moscow), the absolute leader in Georgian defense. A huge disappointment for Weiss.
