Looking at the pre-match odds, it seems the bookmakers have little to no belief in South Korea. Looking at those prices, one might think the Asian outfit is ranked outside the top 50 and only made it to this tournament by way of a fluke.
Nothing could be further from the truth. While the team did finish third in their Asian Cup group, it must be noted that the teams who finished above them were Australia and Japan.
Nevertheless, South Korea progressed through without losing a single game and without conceding a single goal.
What’s more, the team led by Yoon Deok-yeo thrashed the Philippines 5-0 to make sure of their ticket to France and a fifth place finish in the tournament.
And lets not forget, Cho So-hyun and Lee Min-a were joint third highest goal scorers in that competition with three goals each.
The point we’re trying to make, is that South Korea know how to play football and the 22/1 price tag has to be taken advantage of.
France are the hosts and the amount of pressure on them is likely to be huge. What’s more, with Corinne Diacre’s side carrying the favourites tag, this is the perfect opportunity for South Korea to rain on their parade and pull off a famous World Cup shock.
