Italy U20 vs South Korea U20 Prediction 08.06.2023

• Competition: World Cup U20
• Date: Thursday, 8th, June 2023
• Kickoff: 22:00 UK/23.00 CEST
• Venue: Estadio Unico Diego Armando Maradona (La Plata)

The Azzurrini, led by the outstanding Cesare Casadei, will try on Thursday at the "Estadio Unico Diego Armando Maradona" in La Plata to overcome the Asian Tigers and secure the final of the Under-20 World Cup for the first time in history.

The Italian Under-20s national team secured a place among the top four for the third time in the last four editions of the World Cup, as they skipped Colombia Under-20s with a routine 3-1 in the quarter-finals without any difficulty. On the other side, the Tigers from Asia continued to shock and throw their rivals to their knees, and their victim in the quarter-finals was Nigeria, whom they defeated after extra time with a minimum 1-0.

Italy U20 vs South Korea U20 Betting Tips : Team1 to Win

The Italian under-20 national team will definitely not remember the last meeting and the only one so far with South Korea for good, since the Asian tigers ran over them 4-1 in the group stage of the World Cup in Australia. Not wanting a similar scenario to happen to them from 1981, The Azzurrini will now adopt a more cautious approach.

This Italy group has a handful of talented players and is absolutely ready to get revenge on South Korea for the painful defeat of four decades ago, and besides, they have the highest chance to become world champions. The main figure of the team is Cesare Casadei, who judged the English with a goal in the 87th minute for the final 2-1 in the round of 16, and then was one of the three scorers in the 3-1 victory over the Colombians.

The attacking segment of The Azzurrini seems murderous and is capable of delivering two or three balls in the opponent's net. They have scored at least twice in four of the five appearances in this year's edition of the World Cup and will try against South Korea to impose their style of play from the referee's first whistle.

Meanwhile, the Asian side is the absolute hit of the World Cup in South America. It sounds strange, but South Korea is the only one of the semi-final representatives that has not experienced a single defeat since the start of the same. In fact, they would secure a second consecutive final with a win on Tuesday, after losing the 2019 final to Ukraine 1-2.

Hand on heart, but we dare to say that the Tigers from Asia were very lucky in this year's edition of the World Cup and some of the victories they did not deserve with their displayed game. Namely, they were convincingly outplayed by Ecuador and Nigeria, as shown by as many as 48 shots towards the goal of Jun-hong Kim.

A porous defense, which gives the rivals a handful of scoring opportunities, could be a serious problem for Kim's team, especially if we say that in the semi-finals they face the most prolific attack in the tournament. South Korea seems quite worn out and it seems that they don't have the strength for anything more than the semi-finals. Therefore, we expect The Azzurri to prove their worth and quality on the field and send the Asian Tigers home.
