We said: Saudi Arabia 0-0 South Korea

Both Saudi Arabia and South Korea have not been at their best during this international break, and they have played out goalless draws in two of their last four head-to-head matches. As such, it would not be a surprise if Tuesday's game ends as a stalemate, particularly considering South Korea lacked a cutting edge against Wales last time out. Read more.
