Korea DPR vs Japan prediction
It’s going to take something special to topple Korea DPR based on what we saw from them in the group stage. Three matches played, three wins, nine goals scored with none conceded speaks for itself and that combination of attacking proficiency, combined with defensive solidity has seen them lay down a marker to all of their competitors.
Japan come into this game unbeaten in the tournament so far, but it’s worth noting that they are still yet to keep a clean sheet and against a team of Korea DPR’s quality, that doesn’t bode well for them. The backline of Korea DPR are more than capable of shutting down the Japanese and that makes Korea DPR well worth backing.
