South Korea’s prospects of victory are faint, given its average World Cup 2018 performances so far. We expect the Taeguk Warriors to raise their game, despite captain Ki Sung-Yeung’s absence due to injury, but Germany still is too powerful and undoubtedly will cope with South Korea’s best effort. Bet on Germany.
Germany has yet to hit full attacking throttle, and its best chance to produce a goal explosion comes against South Korea. We’re expecting Germany to score at least twice. “Die Nationalmannschaft,” as Germany is known, will be without suspended defender Jerome Boateng, but Mats Hummels might return to the back line after recovering from a neck injury. The defensive upheaval gives South Korea a better opportunity to score, which we believe it will do. Bet on the over.
