The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany), has a 69.6% chance of winning the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup once morest Jordan.
Klinsmann won 2-1 in overtime in the Asian Cup quarterfinals once morest Australia held at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar on the 3rd (Korean time).
After winning a penalty shootout in the round of 16 once morest Saudi Arabia on the 31st of last month, they laughed in overtime for two consecutive games.
Accordingly, Korea will play Jordan in the semifinals at 00:00 on the 7th at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar.
This is my second time meeting Jordan in this tournament. They clashed in the second match of Group E on the 20th of last month and ended in a 2-2 draw.
Korea ranked 23rd in the FIFA rankings and was a much stronger team than Jordan, which ranked 86th, so they were expected to win, but I remember dramatically gaining 1 point due to an own goal in extra time in the second half.
It looks like it will be different this time. It was predicted that Korea, which had grown systematically through the group stage and tournament, would defeat Jordan.
Statistics media ‘Opta’ predicted the probability of victory once morest Jordan on this day to be 69.6%. The probability that Jordan would beat Korea and advance to the finals was only 30.4%.
At the same time, ‘Opta’ also revealed Korea’s probability of winning. Korea is expected to rank first overall at 33.6%. It was in the 10% range throughout this tournament, but rose significantly following the win once morest Australia.
Rather than strongly predicting Korea’s victory, ‘Opta’ appears to have been unusually high as the results of the matches between Iran-Japan and Qatar-Uzbekistan on the other side of the bracket were not released.
Iran and Japan will clash at 8:30 pm on the 3rd. The match between the hosts Qatar and Uzbekistan will be held at 0:30 on the 4th.
