Ranking gap is the story

South Korea sit 16 places above Czechia in the FIFA ranking (#25 vs #41) — a gap of that size is hard for the underdog to close in a one-off match. South Korea comes out at 48%, Czechia at 22%, with the rest on the draw. Combined upset-or-draw chance keeps this one flagged as Upset Watch.
