Kuwait vs South Korea Prediction

Rather than back South Korea on the 1x2 market, our prediction is to back them off a -1.5 goal handicap. We’re taking the 1.70 that the Taeguk Warriors win by two goals or more.

If you want to take things a step further, you can back South Korea -2.5 and hope that they secure a margin of victory which is three goals or more.
