South Korea vs Peru Predictions

• 11 of Peru’s last 12 games have gone under 2.5 goals
• Both teams have failed to score in nine of Peru’s last ten matches
• Peru have lost four of their last six away games

South Korea squad freshened up

South Korea are using two friendlies against Peru and El Salvador to blood some fresh talent under new manager Jurgen Klinsmann, with five uncapped players in their squad and five more players in single figures for appearances.

Stars such as Heung-min Son and Hee-chan Hwang bring a wealth of experience to balance them out, along with Kang-in Lee, who is nearing a move to Paris Saint Germain.

The Taeguk Warriors should have too much quality for a Peru side that lack the quality of their opponents.

Taeguk Warriors fancied for the win

A team that places a strong emphasis on their defensive record, 11 of Peru’s last 12 games have gone under 2.5 goals and they only netted 19 times in 18 World Cup qualifiers before losing out to Australia on penalties in the playoff.

South Korea’s attacking talents may be too much for their South American visitors, the hosts have beaten Portugal, Cameroon and Iceland in the last 12 months and any replication of those efforts should be enough to see them come out on top in this one.

The defensive nature of Peru means that this is unlikely to be a high-scoring affair and South Korea are fancied to edge a 2-0 success in the correct score market.
