Korea Republic versus Algeria in Porto Alegre, no team can afford to lose this game if they want to qualify for the next stage.
South Korea was close to a win in the match vs. Russia but after scoring in the 68th minute they received a goal just 6 minutes later and it ended 1-1. It was only the 2nd time in 6 matches when the South Koreans did not lose, and also the 2nd time in 6 matches when they scored. The Asian team struggled in the WC qualies also and did not look good coming into the World Cup but it was a good performance vs. Russia and they will try to build on that. South Korea has Ha Dae-Sung is questionable.
South Korea lineup: Jung Sung-ryong – Lee Yong, Yoon Sukyoung, Kim Young-gwon, Hong Jeong-ho – Ki Sung-yueng, Han Kookyoung, Lee Chung-young, Son Heung-min, Koo Ja-cheol – Park Chu-young.

Algeria has a good team and was so close to getting a huge result against Belgium, led 1-0 but went down 2-1 due to a late Mertens goal. The Algerian team was in good form coming into the World Cup with 4 successive wins and it can be said they backed up the recent play with the performance vs. Belgium – despite the loss. With Russia at the horizon, the Algerians will hope to win this game, but a draw won’t be a disaster. Algeria has all players available.
Algeria lineup: Mbolhi – Bougherra, Ghoulam, Halliche, Medjani – Bentaleb, Feghouli, Mahrez, Mostefa, Taider – Soudani
South Korea has problems in attack, it was surprising that they scored against Russia but then again it was a massive blunder from the Russian keeper. I rate Algeria as the better team – maybe individual quality is about the same, but the Africans are in better form and playing better football. Algeria to win with +0 asian handicap (draw no bet) looks like a good investment to me. Despite the odds dropping on Korea Republic, I don’t see them winning this game. My tip is Algeria +0 asian handicap. Correct score prediction: South Korea – Algeria 0-1.
Pick: Algeria (+0 Asian Handicap)
