South Korea - Peru

International Friendly Match

Early bet here, because the odds already dropped quite a lot, and will probably keep doing so. This is only a friendly game, but from the looks of it, the Peruvian team, headed by coach Markarian, will take it quite seriously. We can tell this from the list of 'foreign' players that have been called-up, as we can see some big names, like Paolo Guerrero, Jefferson Farfan, Claudio Pizarro, Paolo Hurtado, Edson Flores and Yordy Reina. It's far too soon to speculate about the starting line-up, but I doubt that the coach has called so many stars to South Korea only to leave them on the bench. Meanwhile, the hosts have only called-up Asian-based players (acting in the South Korean or Japan leagues), and except goalkeeper Jung Sung-Ryong (53 caps) and midfielder Lee Keun-Ho (51 caps), the squad is very inexperienced, and are averaging on the age level at 24 years old. They will be without any of their European stars, and the coach is under a lot of criticism, mainly due to their poor performance in their previous local tournament. The quality should be on the Peruvian side, so it's definitely worth taking this bet, despite this being just a meaningless friendly match. GL!
