I have sized this match up and it is inticing:
4* North Korea +100 over Bahrain
Couple of reasons to pick this game and they're obvious:
-Bahrain leading scorer Alaa Hubail (top 5 scorer, 5 goals) will be absent here
-Bahrain Head Coach Srecko Juricic has left the team and they're currently in a bit of disarray
-Bahrain Forward Rashid Jamal is travelling with the team but will not start
-North Korea will have the luxury of playing on their unique surface, astroturf
-North Korea are coming off a very good effort against Japan, losing 2-1 on a 90th minute goal. (Japan are 7-0-0 with 19GF and 2A). One of those going to North Korea
-This game pits the battle for 3rd place in their WC division and the last hope for qualification (Iran/Japan are locks)
Korea has a lot going for them in this one, including now an obvious edge in the offensive department with the injury to the Bahrain leading gun.
GL!
