South Korea vs China Prediction - South Korea has won the last four encounters against China.

The "Asian Tigers" are rightly considered one of the strongest teams in Asia, and at the Asian Cup in Qatar, the South Korean team confirmed their status. Admittedly, the Koreans started slowly and looked unconvincing in the group stage, yet they still reached the semifinals, where they lost to the sensational Jordanian team.

In the World Cup qualifiers, everything went smoothly for the Korean team in the first two rounds, with victories over Singapore (5-0) and China (3-0). However, there was a hiccup in the third match, a home draw with Thailand (1-1). Nevertheless, in the 4th round, the "Asian Tigers" proved that the dropped points against Thailand were merely a fluke. South Korea defeated Thailand 3-0 away and then thrashed Singapore 7-0. With 13 points, the Koreans confidently lead the group and have secured advancement to the next stage.

The Chinese national team participated in the Asian Cup in Qatar and did not surprise anyone. In three matches, the "Great Wall" secured just two points, thanks to draws against Tajikistan and Lebanon. The Chinese team had a chance to make it to the playoffs, but in the crucial third-round match, they lost to the tournament hosts and eventual Asian Cup champions, Qatar.

In the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, China won their opening match against Thailand 2-1 away, but then were comprehensively beaten at home by South Korea 0-3. A surprising away draw against Singapore in the third round saw China drop points after leading 2-0 at halftime. However, in the return match, China secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Singapore, and last week, China drew 1-1 at home with Thailand. With 8 points, the Chinese team occupies second place in the group.
