South Korea vs Honduras Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendly
by Daniel Ngulu | in Football Predictions
South Korea was among the earliest qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and will commence preparations for the tournament with a friendly match against Honduras at home on Monday 28th May seeking to get on the right footing after picking consecutive losses in their last two outings. The Asian nation went all the way to the semis in the 2002 tournament and will be gunning for a repeat, if not better, when they head to Russia so a lot of emphasis is placed on preparations, with three more friendly matches against established teams before they head to the competition. The Koreans have two wins, a draw and two losses in their last five matches but they will be glad to note that the losses are their only once in the last 10 outings. They are unbeaten in their last six home matches and lost just once in the past 22 home matches – six draws, one loss and 15 wins. They have scored seven goals and conceded five in the last five home matches, perhaps an area they will need to improve on is the defence. Korea have scored in each of their last 12 matches but with just three clean sheets in the process, and they have lost thrice in 10 friendly matches. Honduras on their part, have a win, three draws and a loss in their last five matches. They have a win, two losses and two draws in the last five away matches, scoring four goals and conceding six. They have managed just three wins in the last 15 matches and are winless in eight of their last 10 away games. In the last 15 away friendly matches, Honduras have failed to win 12. This will be the second meeting between the two sides. The first ended in a 4 – 0 win for Colombia.

Our South Korea vs Honduras Prediction
Korea have a goal average of about 1.2 at home and a concession average of a goal a game at home, which places them slightly better than Honduras, who have less than a goal average away from home. Added to the fact Korea have suffered just one home loss in 22 matches and Honduras are winless in eight of the last 10 away matches, places Korea as favorites here. Honduras have a concession average of just above a goal a game, away from home and while Korea are favorites, they may not repeat their feat in beating Korea by four goals in the first meeting. A bet of Under 2.5 goals and a double chance for home or away team win here would do.
