Uzbekistan can be proud of their start of the group stage. The team is on second place in the group with nine points gained in four matches and sit right above the hosts of the match. The team play solid in defense allowing only one goal in four matches of the third stage when they lost to Iran, 0-1. Three other matches got them wins with close scores: 1-0 over Syria, 1-0 over Qatar and 2-0 over China. The team has nice year, recording nine wins in 11 matches with two defeats recorded and 13-4 goal difference.
South Korea are more successful in matches with Uzbekistan but today’s visitors managed to draw three of their recent four head-to-heads. Of course, the visitors will be settled for another draw that would keep them on the second place and even if South Korea win, advantage won’t be big.
Prediction for the match: Uzbekistan to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
