Korea Republic national football team take on the visitors Uruguay national football team at the Seoul World Cup Stadium a friendly international fixture. The match will be played In Seoul on Friday, October 12th.
Korea Republic national football team have been looking pretty good in the defense lately. They will most likely use the same playing style in their upcoming fixture against Uruguay national football team. It would be silly for them anyway to lean on their offensive line against La Celeste because their opponents are very good in the positional offense. Thereby the main goal for the Taegeuk Warriors in the lead-up to the upcoming fixture is to play safe in the defense and to use their counterattacks effectively. Overall, the whole Korean football scene has been on a rise recently. The local national football team particularly was very successful at the World Cup 2018 last summer. Even though they were unable to go through to the play-offs of the tournament the team of Paulo Bento beat the winners of the World Cup 2014 Germany national football team with a 2-0 score which was an historic moment for them. After the end of the World Cup 2018 the Koreans had two friendly international fixtures where they beat Costa Rica national football team with a 2-0 score and drew against Chile national football team with a 0-0 score.

Uruguay national football team are quite an interesting team to watch. They have some world class players in their offensive line, they are Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani who are put together to demolish the defense of their opponents. However, the whole playing style of La Celeste is not open at all so those two strikers often have no work on the field rarely turning their lightning speed on. Last summer the team of Oscar Tabarez showed a better performance at the World Cup than the Koreans, they were able to go through to the ¼-finals fixture of the tournament. After that they had only one friendly international fixture against Mexico national football team where they demolished their opponents with a 4-1 score. They had all of their key players in the starting eleven for that game except for Cavani. Now La Charruas are unlikely to use their main squad in the upcoming fixture because the club season is on a roll and the key players do not want to risk themselves getting injuries. In their last three matches Uruguay national football team beat Mexico national football team with a 4-1 score in a friendly international fixture, lost to France national football team with a 0-2 score in the ¼-finals fixture of the World Cup and beat Portugal national football team with a 2-1 score in the 1/8-finals fixture of the World Cup.
It is unlikely that South Korea national football team and Uruguay national football team will show an open game on Friday. On the one hand, La Celeste are the more experienced and the classier team between these two. On the other hand, the Taegeuk Warriors have a very tough defensive line. It is likely that the team of Oscar Tabarez will be unable to score more than once and will be able to concede only one. Overall, the upcoming fixture will most likely have only a few goals scored in it.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored.
