Korea Republic vs Colombia Match Analysis & Prediction
24/03/2023 2:00 pm
Following their 2022 World Cup campaign, Korea Republic will be back in action on Friday when they face Colombia in an international friendly.
While the visitors are unbeaten in the previous three matches, Korea are looking to immediately get back to winning ways.
Jurgen Klinsmann’s era in charge of Korea will get kickstarted this week as he takes charge of the national team for the first time since being appointed as the new manager in February of this year.
South Korea were impressive during the recent World Cup, picking up four points during the group stage following a draw against Uruguay and a surprise victory over Portugal.
While their run in the competition came to an end during a 4-1 defeat to Brazil in the round of 16, the team should have taken plenty of confidence from the performances.
Meanwhile, Colombia’s national team are notorious for their hard-working attitude on the pitch, and that is clear from their recent defensive performances.
They have managed to keep three consecutive clean sheets heading into this contest, and that side of their game is going to be required against strong offensive opponents.
The Los Cafeteros’ most recent game saw them play out a goalless draw against USA, and while it continued their recent unbeaten run, more attacking quality will be needed this time around.
