Ukraine U20 meets South Korea U20 in the World Cup U20 final. The match will be played on Saturday, June 15th at Stadion Widzewa Łódź (Łódź)
Ukraine is the only team of the current youth World Cup, which has not lost a single match (5-1-0). This result was largely achieved thanks to the amazing defensive game. The men of Petrakov conceded only 3 goals in 6 games, while they managed to keep a clean sheet three times. I especially liked the Yellow-blues’ game in the semifinal. The Italians were helpless while trying to penetrate the defense of Ukraine. As a result, Squadra Azzurra could not even deliver a long-range shot. The greatest danger near the penalty area of the Ukrainians arose only at the very end of the meeting when the Yellow-blues remained with ten men. That is, only having arranged an onslaught, the Italians began to threaten the net of Petrakov’s team.

Who could have guessed that South Korea would reach the final? The odds for this event were probably over 20+ before the start of the World Cup. But in the end, an organized team from the Korean Peninsula is ready to fight for the trophy, contrary to all predictions. The defensive model with 5 defenders has given its fruits. It was difficult even for such teams as Portugal and Argentina to get into the penalty area of the Asian tigers. Ecuador actively created dangerous attempts in the semifinals, but the great game of goalkeeper Lee allowed the Asians not to concede and reach the final.
There are no prerequisites for scoring football in the final. First, no one will risk in the key game, therefore, the teams won’t gain pace. But if they will, it will happen only in the 2nd half (or the losing team will have to act quicker). A reliable game in defense is the main advantage of both teams. Accordingly, the bet will be made on defensive actions. And the statistics are indicative: Ukraine conceded only 3 goals, South Korea – one more. At the same time, both teams play defense first more effectively, and no one will take the initiative in the upcoming final. Therefore, we will not see an abundance of goal attempts. Both teams scored more than one goal only in 2 of 6 matches of the tournament. Actually, less than four goals were scored in 5 of 6 games of both teams. It is unlikely that the final will delight us with scoring football. Why do I give preference to Ukraine? It's simple. The nominal hosts are superior to their opponents in terms of the class. The Yellow-blues confidently coped with the main favorite of the tournament in the semifinals. Finally, the Ukrainians do not lose for 10 games in a row.
Prediction for the match: Ukraine U20 to win with +0.5 and Under 3.5 goals scored
