South Korea – Ghana

The match between South Korea and Ghana will take place in the evening of 9 June in Florida, USA. Each team has qualified for the World Cup and it will be the last preparation match for both sides.

South Korea had a great World Cup qualifying campaign but their latest friendlies are not giving them reasons to be optimistic: 4 matches against medium opponents (USA, Mexico, Greece, Tunisia), 1 win and 3 defeats in which they did not score a goal. Two weeks ago they played their last match at home losing 1-0 to Tunisia in a disappointing performance especially on the offensive end. South Korea is also having some problems with injuries missing a couple of players for this match.

South Korea: Jung – Gwon Kim, Kwak, Hong, Yoon – Ki, Han – Lee, Koo, Son – Park

Ghana also is struggling big time with scoring goals. They did not score in the last 3 games (1 draw, 2 defeats) but they had an encouraging performance in their last friendly match: 1-0 loss to Netherlands on the road 10 days ago. Ghana will use the best lineup for this game.

Ghana: Kwersey – Opare, Mensah, Boye, Schlupp – Essien, Badu – Boateng, Muntari, Ayew – Gyan

Each team is struggling badly with results but especially on the offensive end of the pitch. After their latest results, neither South Korea or Ghana want to lose this game and I think both will be satisfied with a draw – an outcome which is likely to happen considering that the sides are also very evenly matched. Another bet worth taking intro consideration is the under 2.5, but the odds are too short and the only bet worth taking would be the under 2 goals. The fact that this friendly is so close to the World Cup and nobody will risk the slightest injury reinforces both possible bets in my opinion. Personally I will pick the draw instead of the under 2 goals because I think it has more value and I don’t think the under has so much more chances to happen than the draw. My tip will be the draw tonight, but I also recommend the under if you are more on the safe-side. Correct score prediction: South Korea – Ghana 0-0.
