South Korea vs Ghana World Cup Predictions

South Korea will meet with Ghana for the second match of the 2022 World Cup for both sides. The Group H battle is set to take place Nov. 28 at Education City Stadium.

South Korea will be led by superstar captain Son Heung-min who has blossomed into one of the top forwards in the English Premier League.

The Tottenham star’s availability is currently in question after it was announced he would need facial surgery before the tournament. South Korea will surely struggle should its star not prove fit.

Ghana and South Korea will be battling to be the second qualifying team out of the group, with Portugal being the outright favorite.

Ghana will look at the Ayew brothers to lead it in the tournament as they have in other competitions. Jordan and André have combined for 43 goals in their national team careers.

South Korea vs Ghana Odds

  • 3-way handicap: South Korea (+150) | Draw (+190) | Ghana (+190)
  • Draw No Bet: South Korea (-135) |Ghana (+105)
  • Over/Under Goals: Over 2.5 ( +142) | Under 2.5 (-205)
  • Both Teams to Score: Yes (+108) | No (-136)

South Korea vs Ghana odds are current as of November 4 at 6 p.m. on FanDuel Sportsbook.

According to FIFA’s rankings, Ghana will be the lowest-ranked team in the tournament. However, despite its poor ranking, they have a good chance of picking up points against an inconsistent South Korean team who could be missing its best player.

Neither team is known for having a dominant attack, and because of this, the under as well as no for Both Teams to Score seem probable. Additionally, the plus odds for a draw or Ghana in Draw No Bet could be plays to look into.

South Korea vs Ghana Prediction

South Korea 0-1 Serbia

South Korea will struggle to find the back of the net, especially if Son is unavailable. Kwon Chang-hoon is the only other player with double-digit goals on the active squad, with 12 in 41 appearances. There will simply be not enough pressure should the Tottenham forward not make it.

Ghana’s attack has been underwhelming in its own right, but I am backing the African side to come away with a result despite being underdogs. The Black Stars will find a goal when they need it most, as they did in WC qualifiers earlier this year. Crystal Palace’s Ayew will ultimately find the back of the net in this one.

South Korea vs Ghana Betting Tips

  • Ghana scored only eight goals in eight African World Cup Qualifying matches.
  • South Korea lost only one of the 16 Asian World Cup Qualifiers.
  • South Korea finished with a +31 goal differential conceding four goals and scoring 35.
  • Son Heung-min is in a “race to be fit” for World Cup after facial surgery.
  • Ghana closed out the African WC Qualifiers with a five-game unbeaten streak but has struggled in fixtures following.

WAGER: 2 unit(s)

Many do not expect Ghana to come out of this match with an additional three points. While the African side is still technically underdogs, South Korea has a glaring issue entering the tournament, the fitness of its star player.

The draw-no-bet option allows you to feel confident that you will most likely get your money back or double it with a Ghana victory.
