North Korea vs Kyrgyz Republic Prediction
North Korea are one of two sides, out of 18, to have failed to win any of their eight third round qualifying matches thus far, collecting just two points. They most recently suffered a 2-1 defeat to the United Arab Emirates at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in March in a game in which they conceded a 98th minute winner.
Kyrgyz Republic most recently defeated Qatar by three goals to one at Spartak Stadium and that has given them a slight chance of finishing in the top four and qualifying for the fourth round of AFC qualification. They begin the ninth match day of the third round sitting four points behind Qatar in Group A.
The two teams have combined for just 16 goals thus far but they have conceded 31 between them so it may end up being more entertaining for the neutral than at first glance.
North Korea vs Kyrgyz Republic Tip: Both teams to score
