Prediction: South Korea 2-1 UAE
South Korea has performed well in the group and come into this as favourites.
UAE’s poor performances does not give them much of a chance, given they are yet to win a single match.
We expect South Korea to win this clash as they have been in better form and are at home comforts.
With good performances, Korea is one of the top sides to go through to the World Cup.
