South Korea will take on Australia on Monday in Pool C of the World Baseball Classic. South Korea are 1-2 while Australia are 2-1, with this the final Pool game for each. Ahead of our prediction. Ju Young Son is slated to start for South Korea, taking on Lachlan Wells.

There will be an air of disappointment over South Korea ahead of this matchup. A loss to Chinese Taipei in their third game after running Japan so close in their second was unexpected. 

The team who were ranked fourth in the world coming into this tournament have massively underperformed and even a win here would only bring them back to .500 along with two other teams.

Australia have been enjoying a great tournament. A win here guarantees them a place in the final eight which would probably set up a game with the Dominican Republic who are top of Pool D. 

They have given up just five runs in their three games so far and only four to Japan so they have confidence in their pitching. They need to be scoring more, however, if they plan to trouble the better teams.

Our Australia vs Republic Of Korea Prediction

These teams have been polar opposites of one another to this point in the tournament. South Korea have scored plenty of runs and conceded lots to the tune of almost 13 combined per game. Australia have not scored many but kept things very tight themselves with a total of 16 runs in their three clashes to this point. With so much on the line in terms of qualification, this could be a cagey game. Our South Korea vs Australia prediction is under 9.5 runs.
