Korea Republic U20 vs Gambia U20 Prediction

Gambia have booked their spot in the knockout round and need just one point to guarantee top spot in the group. Korea Republic are aiming to match or surpass their runners-up finish in the 2019 FIFA U20 World Cup.

Kim Eun-jung's side are on course to progress to the knockout rounds for the eighth time. They currently have four points which should ostensibly be enough to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams. However, Korea will be looking to progress as one of the top two in the group.

This game is a direct battle for top spot in Group F and although one side could nick a win, we are backing the spoils to be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
