Live streaming of Israel U20 vs South Korea U20, preview, lineup predictions, and how to watch the match live broadcast, can be watched in this article.
The South Korean U20 national team will be bidding for a bronze medal at the 2023 FIFA U20 World Cup. They will face debutants Israel U20 team in the third place match which will take place on Sunday, 11 June 2023.
This is the second time U20 South Korea have played in this match, having previously finished fourth in 1983. Kim Eunjung’s side also finished runners-up in the previous edition, but failed to advance to the finals of this edition after losing 2-1 to U20 Italy.
Coach Kim Eunjung said that he would field his best squad to fight for the bronze medal. He hopes that his front trio Choi Seok-hyeon, Lee Seung-won and Lee Young-jun can perform optimally and score goals. They have two goals each in this tournament, but have not been at their best against Italy yet.
In the last two editions of the World Cup, South Korea’s U20s left a strong impression on football fans. Warrior Taegeuk made it to the final of the 2019 U20 World Cup and won a silver medal after losing 1-3 to U20 Ukraine. Back in this year’s edition of the World Cup, the Asian Tigers made it to the semifinals and only narrowly lost 1-2 to U20 Italy.
Thus, the U20 South Korea will take to the field to fight for third place and their opponent will be the U20 Israel. According to the comments, South Korea is the team that is more favored to win a medal because it has a stable performance when it is unbeaten in 5 out of 6 matches this season.
On the other hand, the Israeli U20s are slightly behind their opponents with only 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the 6 matches played (within 90 official minutes). It should be noted, this is the first time the Israeli U20s have appeared in a number one tournament at the U20 level and it will not be easy for them to beat the South Korean U20s.
However, the Israeli U20s are the most unpredictable team in this competition. They made it to the semifinals as a debutant team, and only narrowly lost 1-0 to U20 Uruguay. They also put up impressive stats, with 472 completed passes and 113 successful line breakthroughs.
Israel’s U20 coach Ofir Haim did not say whether he would field his main players or not. However, he believes that his team can provide fierce resistance for South Korea. He relies on Anan Khalaily and Dor Turgeman as his team’s top scorers, with two goals each.
South Korea has a better record than Israel in this competition. They have lost just one out of six matches, while Israel have lost twice. South Korea also scored nine goals and conceded seven, while Israel scored eight goals and conceded seven. This match is predicted to be exciting and tight. Both teams wanted to bring home the bronze medal as a historical achievement.
