South Korea – Portugal. Prediction and announcement for the World Cup match
On Friday, December 2, the third round match of the World Cup, where South Korea will play against the group leader Portugal team, will be played at the “Evolution City” stadium in Al Rayyan.
South Korea
The South Korean team is approaching the third round of the World Cup by just one point. “Warriors of Taejo” had a boring goalless draw with Uruguay in the first round, after which they lost 2:3 to Ghana in a rather fun and spectacular match, both matches played out at the current World Cup in Qatar. be so boring
And South Korea is approaching the third round with a chance to make it to the playoffs. We need to beat Portugal and hope Uruguay beats Ghana but not by a huge score. Frankly, both outcomes seem very likely together, not separately – even more so. The fate of the defending leader Naples Kim Min Jae in the match, which does not add luck and damage to the Asian team, is in question.

The upcoming match will be special for South Korea’s head coach Paulo Bento, who played 35 games for Portugal between 1992 and 2002. True, the 53-year-old expert will watch this match from the stands. At the end of the match with Ghana, he argued very actively with the referee and was shown a red card.
Portugal
Portugal’s national team scored 6 points and, after two rounds with France and Brazil, secured a spot in the play-offs ahead of schedule. However, the first place for Fernando Santos’ team is not guaranteed yet. And his loss promises a meeting with Brazil in the 1/8 final stage. Of course, the Portuguese would like to avoid such a scenario.
In the two starting rounds, the Portuguese first defeated Ghana with a score of 3:2 in a very tense duel, and then beat Uruguay much more calmly and confidently – 2:0. Fernando Santos’ team also has a staffing problem. Danilo and Otaviu are injured. The participation of another PSG player, wing defender Nuno Mendes, is also questionable.
meeting history
The national teams of South Korea and Portugal met only once, as well as at the World Cup, as well as in the third round of the group stage: at their own world championship for the Koreans in 2002. Then Guus Hiddink’s team won 1:0 and kicked the Portuguese out of the tournament. Meanwhile, Paulo Bento, the current coach of South Korea, spent all 90 minutes on the field as part of the Portuguese national team.
Conflict prediction
To secure the group title and avoid such an undesirable encounter with Brazil in the 1/8 final, it is enough for the Portuguese team to draw and not lose as much as they can to Portugal. Our bet is X2, coefficient 1.18.
Estimated compositions
South Korea: Kim Seung Kyu, Kim Jin Soo, Kim Yong Hwon, Kim Min Jae, Kim Moon Hwan, Hwang In Bum, Chun Woon Yoon, Song Joon Ho, Hwang Hee Chan, Hwang Eui Jo, Heung Min Song
Portugal: Diogo Costa, Dalot, Pepe, Ruben Dias, Cancelo, Ruben Neves, William Carvalho, Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo

Shevchenko made statements about the Ukraine-Sweden match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He talked about the match against the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“When we were drawn against Sweden we probably faced our toughest opponent. I have great respect for Swedish football, you have always had good national teams and great players.”
“It’s always difficult to face Scandinavian teams, even though you don’t qualify for the World Cup, because you have so much quality, character and identity. This is similar to us to some extent. I don’t think there are favourites. In the end it all depends on the details, the injury situation and the preparations,” said Shevchenko.
In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.
In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He pointed out the significant financial costs of organizing the Ukrainian national team’s “home” matches outside the country.
“Hosting such meetings costs us an enormous amount of money and we are deprived of the opportunity to assemble a full stadium. In fact, the cost of a so-called home match at a neutral venue costs around five times more than a regular match.”
Our sponsors are located in a country where the struggle continues, so their financial resources are seriously limited.
I cannot approach the government with requests for additional funding.
We are forced to work tightly within the available budget and rely on the support of private donors, especially when it comes to social initiatives,” the UAF president told Dagens Nyheter.
During the current year, the Ukrainian national team played its official home matches in stadiums in Spain and Poland.

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
