Preview

• Tournament: World Cup Qualifiers
• Date: Tuesday, November 19
• Kick-off Time: 2:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Amman International Stadium, Jordan

South Korea’s national football team will face the Palestine national football team in the sixth game of the Group B Third Round qualifying at the Amman International Stadium. Both sides are positioned poles apart in the group table and are seeking a win for different reasons.

The hosts haven’t registered a single win in the third-round qualifying and are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Oman in their latest game. Palestine kicked off this campaign with an encouraging goalless draw with South Korea but have failed to muster any form of stability in their past four games. The visitors are without a clean sheet in their last five games and sit rock-bottom in their respective group.

Meanwhile, South Korea’s national football team maintains their lead at the top of the group standings and are on a four-game winning streak across all competitions. Son Heung-min scored his 50th international goal for South Korea and is expected to continue with his robust form.

South Korea national football team news

Key Players to Watch out in Palestine vs South Korea

Wessam Abou Ali (Palestine)

Wessam Abou Ali has been one of the influential players in the Palestine national squad and has bagged two goals in his last four games. He won the Egyptian Premier League Golden Boot last season with 18 goals while representing Al Ahly.

Son Heung-min (South Korea)

South Korean forward Son Heung-min is regarded as one of the best South Korean players of this generation. The Tottenham Hotspur attacker is the most prolific goal scorer for his country and has found the back of the net in the latest game against Kuwait. That goal took his international tally to 50, making him the joint second on South Korea’s list of record goal scorers.

Palestine vs South Korea Prediction

Palestine’s national football team have consistently struggled to qualify for the World Cup and hasn’t registered a win in their last five qualifying games. They are currently sitting at the bottom of the Group B standings in the third round and are coming off a 2-0 loss to Oman in their last game. They managed a goalless stalemate with table-toppers South Korea earlier in the qualification.

South Korea’s national football team, meanwhile, are easily the favourites due to their stellar run in the third round in the qualifying stages. The visitors have qualified for the World Cup in each of the past editions and are comfortably sitting at the top of the table with 13 points after five games. They are yet to register a defeat in the third round and would like to continue with their unbeaten run in the competition.

Predicted Score: Palestine 1-3 South Korea
