U20 Nigeria made it through to the round of 16 as one of the four best third-placed teams. This is an extraordinary feat for a representative from the African continent who had to face U20 Brazil and U20 Italy in their group.
Nigeria which is increasingly getting praise from experts. In the group stage, U20 Nigeria surprised the world by defeating U20 Italy 2-0.
Moreover, in the round of 16, Ladan Bosso’s team stunned the experts by “wiping out” Argentina (2-0). Don’t forget that Argentina is the host of the tournament and got a perfect 9/9 points in the group stage. Nevertheless, Argentina was powerless against Nigeria.
With what has been shown, U20 Nigeria deserves a higher rating in this match. Coupled with the experience of fighting against strong teams in this tournament (which means several levels of mental boost) it is highly likely that the representative from the dark continent will achieve victory.
On the other hand, U20 South Korea also won a resounding victory over U20 France in the group stage. Even though the young team from the country of Ginseng only qualified for the 2023 FIFA U20 World Cup with difficulty (entered the semifinals of the Asian U20 Championship).
However, the team from Asia experienced difficulties in the following matches. They were held to draws by Honduras and Gambia in their remaining two matches and finished second in their group.
In the round of 16, South Korea’s U20s also had to fight hard to beat Ecuador’s U20s. Kim Eun-jung’s team narrowly won 3-2 and won a ticket to the semifinals. If counted, coach Kim Eun-jung’s team has not lost a single official match since the beginning of 2022 until now (within 90 minutes).
Before the match, the odds of winning showed that the Nigerian U20s were slightly superior to the South Korean U20s. Besides that, U20 Nigeria is playing more stable than their opponent winning four of the last five matches.
According to statistics, the last three Nigerian U20 matches have had less than three goals scored. Nigeria’s U20s are also a team that plays more solidly in defense when it comes to their goals than Italy’s U20s and Argentina’s U20s. In the last meeting between the two teams, the scoreboard was only updated once. Therefore, it is likely that the upcoming matches will have few goals.
