Sweden - South Korea: our prediction

Sweden is an overwhelming favorite (odds 1.02). In the last 10 matches, they won 60% of the time, compared to only 20% for South Korea. South Korea lost 80% of its recent matches. No information on major injuries alters this assessment. A Swedish win in ordinary time is very likely.

The expected total goals are relatively low. Sweden, in a strong position, can control the pace. South Korea, less effective offensively, may struggle to score. Halftime analysis shows often moderate scores (Sweden: 60% Over in HT1, 40% in HT2; Korea: 50% Over in HT1 and HT2). The threshold of 56.5 goals is high for this type of matchup, making Under more likely.
