South Korea vs Ghana Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 28th November 2022

South Korea go up against Ghana this coming Monday in their second outing in the World Cup group stage. With all scenarios still open, we are looking ahead to an exciting encounter.

South Korea sit as number two with one point following their opening group match, with Ghana having zero points as number four. Ghana are taking on number 61 in the FIFA world ranking, with the home side sitting as number 28.

South Korea could perhaps, and it is a big perhaps, squeeze their way into second place if all the stars align. The most likely scenario though will be for them to head home after the first three matches.

Ghana fought very well against Portugal and was the first African nation to score at the World Cup. Defensive woes let them down, though and they'll be wary of the threat Heung-Min Son pose.
