South Korea vs Germany Prediction: The Germans to finish strong

Germany and South Korea lock horns for the final Group H match, while Colombia prepares to face Morocco. Germany are playing for their lives here as they are currently on the same point as Morocco in 3rd place. So a win for the German team here is most crucial for them to qualify to the Knockout stages. South Korea have failed to win the opening 2 games of the tournament, so their participation is coming to an end irrespective of the result of this clash.

South Korea’s FIFA involvement comes to an abrupt end after this final game as they lost both opening games of the tournament, leaving them at the bottom of the group with 0 points. The other teams, Morocco, Germany and Colombia have 3, 3 and 4 points respectively. South Korea’s first game was against Colombia, which they lost 2-0 and then they faced Morocco in the second round and lost that game 1-0.

In their most recent match against Morocco, South Korea conceded an early goal in the 6th minute of the game from Ibtissam Jraidi. And the only goal was enough to seal the win for the Moroccans, as South Korea failed to equalize in regulation time. Statistics of the game showed they had 62% possession, 0 shots on target and 6 corner kicks in that game.

Team Streaks: without a clean sheet (3), more than 2.5 goals (6/8), first half loser (5/6), less than 4.5 cards (10/10).

Kim Jung-mi, Kim Hye-ri, Hong Hye-ji, Shim Seo-yeon, Hyo-joo Choo, Lee Geum-min, Ji So-yun, Cho So-hyun, Jang Sei-gi, Son Hwa-yeon, Park Eun-sun.

Germany were left disappointed with the results from the second round that has left them fighting for their lives. They opened their campaign with an emphatic 6-0 win over Morocco, but then they went on to lose 2-1 against Colombia in the second round. They are currently second in the group with 3 points and needing a win to book their place in the Knockout round.

In the 2-1 defeat to Colombia, the Colombians were first to strike through Linda Caicedo in the 52nd minute. Germany responded in the 89th minute as Alexandra Popp equalized from the penalty spot to draw the game level. But Colombia stole the show with a late goal in the 97th minute from Manuela Vanegas to earn them all 3 points. According to match statistics, Germany had 68% possession, 2 shots on target and 4 corner kicks in that game.

Team streak: more than 2.5 goals (5/5), both teams scoring (4/5), less than 4.5 cards (10/10), less than 10.5 corners (5/6).

Starting XI (4-2-3-1)

Merie Frohms, Svenja Huth, Kathrin Hendrich, Sara Doorsun-Khajeh, Chantal Hagel, Lena Oberdorf, Sara Dabritz, Jule Brand, Lina Magull, Klara Buhl, Alexandra Popp.

Germany were unlucky to lose the game against Colombia despite their strong performance. But they are still a very strong team with a strong mentality, so they are expected to bounce back from that defeat and finish the group stage with a strong win. The South Korean team are nowhere near the Germans based on quality, so we don’t expect them to pose a serious threat to the Germans. Germany should win the game without conceding a goal.
