REPUBLIC OF KOREA v GHANA
REPUBLIC OF KOREA
The Republic of Korea played out a goalless draw against Uruguay in their opener, not a bad result for them as they were trading as 3/1 underdogs heading into the match. They are undefeated in their last 4 Internationals and they have not conceded in their last 3 games.
GHANA
Ghana played a thrilling match against Portugal in their opener, but eventually went down 3-2. Portugal opened the scoring by a Ronaldo penalty, but Ghana levelled only to concede again just a few minutes later. Ghana looked in good form heading into the World Cup with a victory over Switzerland in their warm-up match.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides met in a friendly International in 2014 with Ghana winning 4-0.

Republic of Korea 15/10
Draw 85/40
Ghana 21/10
Suggested Bet: Ghana win at 21/10
I though Ghana would be favourites for this match based on their performance against Portugal and I make the 21/10 that they win the game the value bet of the round.

PORTUGAL v URUGUAY
PORTUGAL
Portugal came out on the right side of a thrilling 3-2 victory over Ghana in their opener with all of the goals coming in the last 25 minutes, it was certainly a tougher task than their 3/10 starting price suggested. Portugal had also looked sharp in their 4-0 warm-up victory over Nigeria.
URUGUAY
Uruguay were 8/10 favourites to win their opener against the Republic of Korea, but they were held to a goalless draw and looked second best for much of the contest. Uruguay’s last 3 International fixtures have had 2 goals or less in them.
HEAD-TO-HEAD
These sides met in the World Cup in 2018 with Uruguay winning the match 2-1

Portugal 1/1
Draw 12/5
Uruguay 3/1
Suggested Bet – Over 2.5 goals at 11/10
Portugal looked very good going forward against Ghana, but they were also vulnerable at the back and with Uruguay under some pressure to get the win I think this could be an open game with plenty of goals.
