How come Korea draws against Australia but beats Japan who is higher ranked an Australia.
ReplyDeleteJapan (36) is higher ranked than Australia (40) in the FIFA ranking.
DeleteThese predictions are generated using the Elo rating and there Australia (25) is higher ranked than Japan (30). With the home advantage for South Korea (32) this means that according to Elo a win against Japan is to be expected and just a draw against Australia.
