Match Betting Lines

South Korea is +145 while Algeria is +250 in a match that is seen as a close contest. The draw is +229 with the total being 2 goals.

South Korea

Korea Republic will think three points is the goal for this match, but they will likely accept another draw and continue their prospects of the knockout round in the third and final group play fixture.

Algeria

The North African side was strong against Belgium respective to the chances they were given before the match started. Let’s see how they respond off their loss after leading 1-0 at halftime.

Match Analysis

I think we will see a low scoring match with both teams being cautious here. Neither wants to lose, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see both sit back and avoid risks in their own defensive half.

Key Injuries, Suspensions, Yellow Cards

Barring technical changes, expect the line-ups to be the same as in each team’s first match.

Josh’s Pick

I see a 0-0 draw playing out. Algeria will want something from this match, but I don’t think Korea will play poorly enough to give away a win. These two share the spoils.
