South Korea vs Ghana: World Cup 2022 prediction, team news, kick-off time, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds

South Korea and Ghana go head to head at the World Cup this afternoon, both searching for their opening win.

Korea have a point to their name after an opening Group H stalemate against Uruguay in Al Rayyan on Thursday, riding their luck somewhat after La Celeste twice hit the woodwork in a low-key affair and missing good opportunities through Hwang Ui-jo and a masked Heung-min Son.

That is one point more than next opponents Ghana, who lost out after a thrilling second half against Portugal, Andre Ayew and Osman Bukari netting in an eventful finish before Inaki Williams crucially slipped with a tremendous chance in the ninth minute of stoppage time after coming from behind to dispossess red-faced goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

South Korea vs Ghana prediction

The stakes are high in this encounter, with defeat ending Ghana’s hopes of qualification and anything less than a win for Korea making their path to the last-16 tricky with only Portugal left to play.

After a good first half against Uruguay, Paulo Bento’s side were dominated thereafter and lucky that the woodwork denied both Diego Godin and Federico Valverde.

After a dire first half, Ghana showed they are no pushovers against Cristiano Ronaldo and Co and were it not for Inaki Williams’ slip could have been celebrating a famous last-gasp point.

A draw could well beckon here though, which will leave the group finely poised before matchday three.

A 1-1 draw.
