South Korea will look to make amends for the unsuccessful World Cup campaign when they face Ecuador in a friendly. Interim boss Roberto Moreno will rely on Los Angeles FC captain Son Heung-min, while Porto midfielder Hwang In-beom, Atletico Madrid’s Lee Kang-in and Besiktas forward Oh Hyeon-gyu have also made the cut. South Korea have been particularly impressive at home, winning 86% of their last seven matches and conceding just 0.71 goals per game during that run.
Ecuador, meanwhile, were beaten by Mexico in the World Cup playoffs and will be eager to get back on course. New boss Marcelo Gallardo welcomes Jeremy Sarmiento and Keny Arroyo back to the squad, with key players Piero Hincapie and Moises Caicedo also included. However, Ecuador have won none of their last five away games, scoring just 0.40 goals per game and failing to find the net in 60% of those matches.
South Korea’s excellent home record and Ecuador’s struggles on the road make South Korea to Win an interesting option, while Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals also appeal given that the hosts have conceded just 0.71 goals per home game.
This match will be played on Thursday 24 September 2026 at 12:00.
