South Korea take on the visitors Salvador in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Tuesday, June 20th.
South Korea national team has fallen apart after the World Cup. It's not very pleasant to watch a team that can't seem to win on home soil. After the unsuccessful match against Uruguay in the World Cup, the Koreans started playing exclusively against representatives of South America. They performed horribly at home in the spring, conceding two goals from each of their opponents. Clearly, their game left much to be desired. Just a couple of days ago, the Asians played at home against Peru. They lost with a clean sheet and had no control over the game. Without Son, they struggled to create any scoring opportunities. The young Koreans couldn't come up with anything in attack, which is extremely disappointing.

El Salvador are not that weak. Unfortunately, the reality is that a team that suffers a heavy defeat a few days prior receives wild odds from bookmakers. The game against Japan was a disaster, with a red card in the third minute, and everything went horribly. However, the team played superbly against the United States in the Nations League in March and had a good chance of a positive outcome, despite a narrow loss. The national team of El Salvador has few foreign-based players, but that only makes the team more cohesive. After such a heavy defeat, I expect a more serious game from Perez's players.
I believe everyone understands that El Salvador won't receive a red card so quickly again. The team will naturally play its physical style of football, with a strong emphasis on defense. And the team always manages to do that, even in friendly matches. The young players will get their chance today. Everything will depend on Korea, and the team has been playing horribly lately. Klinsmann is trying out young players and didn't even field Son, probably because he had a tough season. He will appear today, according to announcements, but not for the entire match. The last time Korea suffered a heavy defeat at home was a year ago! So, I don't believe El Salvador will struggle in this match once again.
Prediction for the match: El Salvador to win with +2.5 handicap.
