On Monday afternoon, South Korea and Ghana go head-to-head in a potentially vital clash in Group H of the World Cup.
The Taegeuk Warriors kicked off their World Cup campaign with a creditable 0-0 draw against Uruguay. The draw extended South Korea’s unbeaten run in international football to four matches.

The game also saw them keep a third straight clean sheet. In fact, they have now kept clean sheets in five of their last seven matches.
However, the draw also extended South Korea’s poor recent record at World Cups, as they have now won just once in their last ten matches in the competition.
There was one positive in the fact that they have now recorded back-to-back clean sheets at World Cups, even if they were four years apart.
South Korea will see this game as their most winnable, especially with a gameweek three encounter with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal to come.
The Black Stars produced a spirited display in their World Cup opener against Portugal but ultimately went down to a 3-2 defeat. The loss last time out ended a two-game winning run and a streak of two straight clean sheets.
The loss means that Ghana cannot afford to lose this game. In fact, to qualify, they may need to win this clash to have a chance of making the last 16, depending on the result in the other game.
The defeat against Portugal continued a poor recent run of results in the World Cup, as Ghana have now failed to win in their last five games in the competition.
It was also their third defeat in the last four World Cup matches.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that South Korea will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to strengthen their chances of making the knockout stages of the World Cup.
