South Korea vs Ghana Prediction: Expect goals when both teams meet in the second Group H World Cup round 2 fixture

After their resilience performance against Portugal a few days ago, Ghana might become the second African side to secure three points when they face South Korea on Monday. Can the Black Stars register a victory here? A look at our well-researched tips for your winnings.

SOUTH KOREA

FIFA Ranking: 28th

Last five games: LDWWD

The Tigers of Asia commenced their campaign with a solid (0-0) draw against former champions Uruguay. South Korea were lucky to come off with a point after their opponent hit the post twice. It was more of a defensive display from South Korea, who had no shot on target.

South Korea will be hopeful of a breakthrough in this year’s encounter, having won once in the last six World Cup games and having failed to secure a knockout spot.

South Korea Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): Kim S G; Kim M, Kim M J, Kim Y G, Kim J S; Hwang I B, Jung; Na, Lee J S, Son H M; Hwang U J.

GHANA

FIFA Ranking: 61th

Last five games: WLWWL

Otto Addo's side showed they could compete with the top guys when they almost came back from a goal down to secure a point. A controversial penalty was awarded to the Portuguese side minutes after the break as Ronaldo put his team ahead from the spot. Ghana's side came knocking and were rewarded with a goal eight minutes after. It became more serious when Portugal scored two quick goals before another from Ghanas Bukari. It was one of the best games so far in this tournament, and Ghana were unlucky not to have secured a point, at least.

The Black Stars are among the most popular African teams in recent World Cup competitions. Their notable disappointing quarter-final encounter against Uruguay still rings in everyone's head. A controversial game that witnessed deliberate handball from Suarez and a penalty miss from Asamoah Gyan shattered the dream of being the first African to reach the semi-finals.

Ghana Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): Ati-Zigi; Lamptey, Amartey, Salisu, Mensah; Partey, Samed; Sulemana Kudus, J. Ayew; A. Ayew.
