Prediction: Zha is another one that’s proved he belongs. He’s made it this far and last season he made it all the way to the finals.
Kim got an upset win in the opening round knocking out Keisuke Sasu. Kim is better than his record suggests but like I said before, he has five losses for a reason.
Zha is good with very little holes as it’s just not putting it together for the most part. Kim is a dangerous striker but his defense is poor in every aspect. I’m extremely confident in Zha and I think he finds the finish early.
