Analysis

Limited data — early in the competition

The model forecasts South Korea as clear favourites with a 52% win probability, predicting a most-likely scoreline of 0-1 and an expected goals advantage of 1.5 to 0.8. South Africa have a 21% chance of victory with a 26% draw probability, whilst there is a 44% probability of both teams scoring and a 41% chance of over 2.5 goals. Given limited recent form data, these projections should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
