The South Korea national football team has a 91.22% chance of advancing to the 2026 FIFA World Cup round of 32. According to statistics company Opta, the team's chances of advancing to the round of 32 are 91.22%. Led by manager Hong Myung-bo, the South Korea national football team won their first match against the Czech Republic 2-1 but lost to Mexico 0-1 in the second match, placing them second in Group A. Hwang In-beom said, 'The situation is better than it was after the second match of the 2022 Qatar World Cup. The players are relatively relaxed since they just need to win or draw in the third match.' South Korea can advance to the round of 32 if they win or draw against South Africa on the 25th. If South Korea draws and the Czech Republic beats Mexico, South Korea will place second in the group due to the winner-takes-all principle. If South Korea loses to South Africa but the Czech Republic draws or loses to Mexico, South Korea can still advance to the round of 32 if they place among the top 8 of the 12 third-place teams. In the worst-case scenario, if the Czech Republic beats Mexico and South Korea loses to South Africa, they will be eliminated. Without considering all the possible scenarios, it is highly likely that South Korea will earn points against South Africa based on their objective strength. While it is impossible for them to place first in the group, it is also highly likely that they will place second and advance to the round of 32. If South Korea places second in Group A, they will face the second-place team in Group B in Los Angeles. In Group B, Canada is in first place with a better goal difference despite being tied with Switzerland with one win and one draw. Opta predicted that both Canada and Switzerland have a 100% chance of advancing to the round of 32 and that Switzerland will place second in Group B and face South Korea. South Korea lost to Switzerland 0-2 in the third match of the 2006 Germany World Cup group stage due to a controversial offside call and was eliminated. Meanwhile, if South Korea places third in Group A, they will face the winner of Group E, which includes Germany, or the winner of Group G, which includes Belgium.
