Singapore will welcome Korea Republic to the National Stadium in Kallang for a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Thursday (June 6th). The hosts are coming off a harrowing 4-1 defeat away to China last time out in March.
First half goals from Wu Lei and Faris Ramli ensured the game was level at the break. However, the Chinese ran riot in the second half, with Fernandinho, Lei and Wei Shihao all scoring for the hosts.
Korea Republic, meanwhile, comfortably saw off Thailand with a 3-0 away win in their last outing. Lee Jae-sung, Son Heung-min and Park Jin-seob all scored to inspire them to victory.
The win left the Taegeuk Warriors at the summit of Group C, having garnered 10 points from four games. Singapore are bottom of the standings with just one point.

Korea Republic need just one point to book their spot in the third round after being the best side in the group.
Kim Do-hoon's men are heavy favorites and barring an unlikely upset, there should only be one winner here. We are backing the visitors to claim a comfortable victory and clean sheet.
