Saudi Arabia - Korea Republic Prediction and Best Odds:

Saudi Arabia continued their excellent pre-tournament form in the group stages of the competition. The Green Falcons got through the group stages unbeaten and kicked off their tournament with a 2-1 win over Oman. They followed that up with a solid showing, beating the Kyrgyz Republic 2-0 before playing out a stalemate against Thailand to claim the top spot in Group F. Those results extended Saudi’s unbeaten record to eight matches in all competitions, including six wins and just two draws. Notably, their biggest strength has been in defence, where they kept seven clean sheets in that eight-match period. However, the Green Falcons have not secured a victory against the Koreans since a 2005 World Cup qualifier, which they won 1-0. 

While Korea Republic have been the better side in the overall head-to-head standings, the last time these two sides faced each other in the knockout stage of this tournament was in the 2000 semi-finals, where the Green Falcons emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. Korea Republic have not had a convincing tournament thus far, despite still being considered one of the favourites to lift the trophy. After an opening-match 3-1 victory over Bahrain, they went on to draw 2-2 with Jordan and 3-3 against Malaysia, securing a place in the knockout stages as runners-up in Group E. Still, there is no denying the Asian Tigers’ class, and it would not come as a shock if their found top gear here. South Korea has a solid record of winning their opening knockout fixture at the Asian Cup, having achieved this in each of the past four tournaments. Four years ago, they advanced past Bahrain at this stage.
