Uruguay vs South Korea Prediction and Betting Tips (24.11.2022)

Command Analysis

Uruguay

Uruguay national team had a disappointing performance in the World Cup qualifiers. They lost several games in a row and dropped out of the direct qualification zone. Following these results, head coach Oscar Tavares was fired and replaced by Diego Alonso, who managed to steady the ship and get Uruguay to finish in third place in South America. Before the start of the tournament in Qatar, the two-time world champions celebrated success over the Canadian national team (2:0).

South Korea

South Korea national team had a very easy qualifying campaign. Their opponents in qualifying matches were Iran, the UAE, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Paulo Bento's team was the favourite to win the group, however, they lost the last game to the UAE (0:1) and finished in 2nd place, two points behind Iran. South Korea beat Iceland (1:0) at home in the pre-World Cup friendly.

Tip and bets

1.77Uruguay to win

Uruguay are the strong favourites here. They have superior quality and are on top form - in the last year, the Sky-Blues lost only one game. We expect the team to go far at this World Cup. South Korea doesn't stand a chance, especially if Son Heung-min is unavailable (Tottenham forward got injured in the last Champions League game).

2.19Both to score

Uruguay have a powerful line of attack and will probably rely on the skills of their forwards here. We don't believe that South Korea's defense can stop the likes of Cavani, Suarez, and Valverde. However, the Asian side will look for a counterattack opportunity to catch Uruguay off guard.
