Soccer Prediction of the Day Sweden vs South Korea

There is not much difficulty in making a prediction about what will happen in the match. The South Koreans will close in defense, hoping the Swedes will attack and thus be able to put speed in the game when they regain possession of the ball trying to explore the open spaces.The Europeans show good defensive solidity, but they have great difficulty in scoring. But the defense of Asians does not inspire confidence. So the hunch in Sweden’s victory seems to be the most appropriate option for the confrontation.
