South Korea vs Portugal Preview & Prediction

South Korea was involved in arguably the match of the tournament so far, following their 2-3 defeat against Ghana after trailing 2-0 at half time, which leaves them with a tricky equation to progress from the group. Star player Son Heung-Min was left in tears after the match after the heartbreaking loss.

If they are to progress to the knockouts they will need repeat their heroics against the European giant from the 2002 World Cup, when they came away with the three points as the host nation. Assuming they are to pull off a shock win, they will likely face off against tournament favourites Brazil in the Round of 16.

Meanwhile, Portugal have earned maximum points from their opening two matches in their group stage and await their final match to determine if they are to finish on top of Group H. Bruno Fernandes scored a brace en route to a comfortable 2-0 triumph against Uruguay.

Led by the controversial Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal have quietly snuck up in the overall standings as the possible winners of the tournament. They have been superb so far despite a late scare against Ghana, and if they are to continue their possession based model against the tougher opponents than they have every chance of going all the way.

VERDICT:

Although Portugal have little to play for considering they have already qualified, I still expect them to have the quality to down South Korea on Saturday (AEDT). (Best Portugal Win odds @$1.66 with bet365.)
