Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the World Cup 2026 qualifying match.
In Amman, Jordan, the match will be between the top and bottom teams of the group. South Korea lead with a five-point advantage, but they dropped points once against Palestine (0:0).
Palestine
The draw with South Korea was one of seven winless matches that continue to this day. Among them, only the game against Australia (0:5) offered no chance for Palestine. Looking back at the match with South Korea, Palestine were not far behind in terms of shots (10-16), including those on target (3-5).
South Korea
In the rest of the third round matches, South Korea have scored at least two goals and have maintained a two-goal margin away from home: Oman (3:1), Jordan (2:0), Kuwait (3:1). On average, away from home, South Korea have 14 shots and hit the target more than 5 times.
Palestine vs South Korea Prediction
We believe Palestine will be open to a high-scoring match. In two home games, the total over 3.5 goals occurred—against Jordan (1:3) and Kuwait (2:2). Therefore, a total over 2.5 goals is very feasible.
