Uruguay vs Korea Republic Prediction & Betting Tips - World Cup
by Ioannis | in World Cup Prediction
Uruguay and South Korea commence their World Cup duties at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan. Both teams will be aware of the task that awaits them, with their group, which also contains Portugal and Ghana, being arguably the toughest of the tournament. Uruguay took a serious gamble when they replaced experienced managerial stalwart Oscar Tabarez with the much younger and less experienced Diego Alonso. However, it looks to have paid off with La Celeste finishing third in the CONMEBOL qualification group, storming back with four straight wins under the 47-year-old's leadership to end the campaign. With this being Diego Alonso’s first international managerial position and only nine matches under his belt with the team, questions still remain as to whether or not he can exploit the large array of Uruguayan talent and live up to the billing on the biggest stage. South Korea are entering their tenth successive World Cup tournament, with Paulo Bento having managed to construct a defensively resolute team with a refuse to lose attitude. On the downside, Son’s injury has been a worrying sight for most Korean fans and it remains to be seen how his potential absence might impact the South Korean outfit.

Uruguay - Korea Republic: Form Analysis
Uruguay are entering this game in top form. They have conceded a single defeat in their last nine games, winning seven of them. They have also done extremely well on the defensive side of things, with La Celeste keeping seven clean sheets and only conceding a meagre two goals during that nine match stretch. However, the Uruguayan side have not found it that easy when playing against Asian opposition, failing to win in four of their last six games against AFC countries, including a loss to South Korea back in 2018. With regards to Paulo Bento’s side, they are entering the Qatar tournament in equally impressive form. They have won five of their last seven games, keeping clean sheets in four of them. South Korea have also been extremely tough to beat in their competitive encounters, conceding defeat in just two of their last eighteen. To make things even better, they have fared well against South American sides in recent meetings, beating Chile and drawing with Paraguay, yet a 5-1 drubbing against Brazil will surely have raised some questions.

Uruguay & Korea Republic Squad Analysis
Uruguay possess a perfect blend between youth and experience. On the one end of the spectrum, experienced stalwarts Luis Suarez and Edinson Cavani are not to be underestimated in what will surely be their last tournament. On the other end, emerging talents Federico Valverde and Darwin Nunez are very likely to steal the show for La Celeste, already grabbing the headlines for their respective clubs throughout the recent months. Regarding Uruguay’s hidden talent, Giorgian de Arrascaeta has been a revelation for Flamengo ever since 2019 and expect his sumptuous passing to make the difference for Alonso’s team. For South Korea, besides the obvious quality of Son which frankly needs no introductions, the impressive defensive partnerships between Kim Min-jae and Kim Young-gwon will surely be a weapon in Paulo Bento’s arsenal, with the former experiencing the season of his life with Napoli. With regards to attacking options, Wolverhampton’s Hee-Chan Hwang will be expected to shoulder the attacking load should Heung-Min Son miss out on this match. If fit, the two Premier League players will likely form a dangerous partnership going forward.

Our Uruguay vs Korea Republic Prediction
Despite both teams' impressive defensive showings of late, the goal line appears too skewed in favour of the Unders. Both teams possess talent in attack, while Uruguay’s ageing defence could be presented with some issues against South Korea’s pacey attackers. With that in mind, exploiting the value of goals and backing the Asian Over 2 goals, which returns our bet if the game ends with exactly two goals, is the way to go in this encounter.
Uruguay vs Korea Republic - Other Interesting Predictions
South Korea +0.75 Asian Handicap
Despite Uruguay being the favourites on paper, head coach Alonso is still untested in a tournament of such pedigree, while South Korea has caused bigger upsets in recent World Cup history. Backing the +0.75 Asian Handicap in favour of the Asian side is a great alternative way into this fixture, with half our stake back if they end up defeated with a goal’s margin.
Both Teams To Score
While statistics might tell us otherwise, both teams finding the back of the net constitutes another great value pick. The must-win nature of this match-up in combination with the two teams’ attributes in attack could lead to an open game.
