South Korea vs Uzbekistan Prediction

South Korea host Uzbekistan on 6 October 2026 at 14:00 in a friendly that marks another test for Robert Moreno's tenure. The Spanish manager arrived after South Korea's World Cup failure—two losses in three matches and early elimination—with his contract running only through November. Moreno's debut brought a 3-0 win over Ecuador, but momentum stalled. South Korea then lost 4-1 at home to Uruguay and drew 0-0 with Venezuela, leaving the squad searching for consistency under new leadership.

Form and H2H

South Korea's last ten matches show four wins, one draw, and five losses at home, averaging 1.21 goals for and 1.19 against. Uzbekistan's away record over the same span reads four wins, one draw, and five losses, with 1.70 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. The head-to-head record favors South Korea decisively. They have won three of the last five meetings: a 3-2 victory in 2011, a 2-1 win in 2016, and a dominant 4-0 home win in 2018. Uzbekistan drew twice, in 2015 and 2017, but has not beaten South Korea in their recent encounters.

Best bet

South Korea to win at 1.64 with 1Win. The hosts hold a clear advantage in direct history and play at home, where they have won four of their last ten. Uzbekistan's away form is fragile, and Moreno will be eager to build on the Ecuador result after the Uruguay and Venezuela setbacks.

Odds to watch

The draw sits at 3.72 with 1Win, reflecting the two stalemates in the H2H series. An Uzbekistan away win is priced at 5.17, a longer shot given their inconsistent record on the road and South Korea's historical edge in this fixture.
