Uruguay takes on South Korea. The match will take place at Education City Stadium (Al Rayyan) on Thursday, November 24, 2022.
Uruguay will be attending the World Cup without Oscar Washington tabares. Since 2006, the “Charrua”, for more than a decade, has been playing under the same mentor. The “Master” won the Copa America with their team and advanced to the semifinals of the World Cup. However, the cooperation is not enough. Last year, the Uruguayans stopped at Copa America in the first round of playoffs. Then, after a series of losses, they were on the brink of failing to qualify. In December, Diego Alonso became the mentor. He was a former football player. Uruguay won all remaining qualifying matches, and finished the qualification in third place. Let’s now see how the team plays directly in the tournament.
– South Korea is determined to be the best team in Asia. Since 1986, the “Warriors of Daeju”, have always played in mundials. They were the semi-finalists in the tournament in 2002. It is true that the World Cup was then played only on the Japanese and American fields. There were a few instances when the referees were not as loyal as they are now. However, the Koreans were able to leave the group in 2010, the only time they did so. They won in Russia once, with two defeats. Now they want more. The quartet is not difficult to coach and has strong Asian players. Song Hong Min, who has had a great season at Tottenham, stands out.
teams played head-toheads quite often. Uruguay won all six of the first meetings, including those for the 1990 and 2010 World Championships. Only in 2018 was Korea victorious in a friendly match. Uruguay will be the favourite of the pair. The Koreans will argue that they won’t give in so easily. We are still waiting for more than two goals.
Prediction: More than 2.0 goals.
