U20 AFC Asian Cup. Semifinals. South Korea is a bright favorite here, the team demonstrates better and more mature football than their neighbors from the South. In their group, South Korea has already proven this both on and off the field, easily winning 5-0. It could have ended with an even bigger score difference, but there were also missed opportunities. South Korea would easily find weaknesses in North Korea's defense, whether in positional play, counter-attacks, or simply overpowering opponents while trying to create distance. It remains to be seen if the situation will be different today. North Korea does not have the physicality or larger bodies like Australia, who caused some problems for them in the quarterfinals but still lost 0-3. Additionally, North Korea also played a very difficult quarterfinal match against Thailand, which required extra time. This, combined with the current weather conditions in Thailand, surely took a toll and should affect their stamina while competing against South Korea for 90+ minutes. Tensions between the countries and the desire to prove superiority will also add to the motivation for over goals for the favorites, as seen in the first match. If the scoring is not off that day, this total seems feasible.
