Venezuela will have the chance to avenge their defeat to South Korea 12 years ago when the two sides meet again in an international friendly. The match is set to take place at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium and with their last meeting seeing a combined four goals scored, our prediction is leaning towards another high-scoring affair, with over 2.5 goals as our preferred pick.
Three months after their poor display in the 2026 World Cup, which saw them be eliminated in the group stages, South Korea have been handed an opportunity to redeem themselves in this international window.
The results have been encouraging so far, with one win and one defeat. It began with a 3-0 thrashing of Ecuador, which halted a two-match losing streak, followed by a 4-1 defeat to Uruguay. Both results were recorded at home.
Korea will now be hoping to make it two wins in three home games when they take on Venezuela - a side they defeated 3-1 in their last friendly match in September 2014.
Venezuela fell short of qualifying for the summer tournament. They finished in eighth place in the World Cup qualifiers. Their last match was a 6-3 beating at the hands of Colombia.
Since then, they've managed just three wins from their last eight games (D1, L4). Their most recent match was just a day ago—a 2-1 loss to Asia's powerhouse, Japan.
