Korea Republic vs Singapore Prediction
Korea Republic have qualified for each of the last eight FIFA World Cup tournaments and their quest for a ninth successive World Cup appearance begins now. The Taegeuk Warriors have not played a competitive game since their ouster by Brazil in the round-of-16 in Qatar last December and are currently on a five-game unbeaten streak in their last five friendlies.
Singapore comfortably saw off Guam to get to this stage but face an uphill task to advance beyond this stage.
We are backing the home side to claim maximum points with a comfortable win.
