After coming away with a disappointing 4-2 defeat against Algeria, South Korea will face group leaders Belgium at the Arena Corinthians, São Paulo on Thursday. And while a draw is enough for Belgium to avoid the Germans in the next round, Myung-Bo’s side has a big task in front of them.
But may get a break if Belgium decides to rest some of its key players.
This is South Korea’s 9th World Cup, four more than any other Asian team. But it has been a disastrous one, as they have just one point from two games.
[ad-3678122]
They have not been able to get the most of key man Koo Ja-Cheol Koo, who has just one goal, despite being the most active attacking player during the side’s first two matches.
The team captain has done more than his part in trying to lead his team, and will be called on again against Belgium to incite his teammates to victory and live another day and prove that they deserve to move on this summer in Brazil.
Meanwhile, Belgium, who were unbeaten in World Cup qualifying, are unbeaten in the World Cup group stages. And a big part of that is due in to the play of Red Devils keeper Thibaut Courtois, who has been brilliant in Brazil.
He along with midfield maestro Axel Witsel, are the reasons why Belgium sits atop the group.
Witsel, is a superb passer and when combined with forward Divock Origi, who came off the bench and scored the winner against Russia, make Belgium a force to be reckoned with.
World Cup Betting Prediction – Draw –
While I expect Belgium to rest some of its best players ahead of the round of 16, the combination of some veterans and an exciting group of young talents should be enough to compete with the South Koreans.
However, motivated by desperation, and boasting the youngest squad at this World Cup, South Korea will surely make this one interesting.
Therefore I am going with the 1-1 draw here.
