Argentina vs South Korea Preview

24

Argentina vs South Time: 17th June, 13.30 local time.

Venue: Johannesburg – JEP, South Africa

Group B are back in action for their second round of group stage games on the 17th of June. Argentina meet South Korea at the Johannesburg JSC stadium, kicking off at 13:30 local time.

Argentina are, as you would probably expect, the favourites by far to win this game. South Korea are a good enough team, but with the strength of the Argentina squad this looks like a fixture they will really struggle to get any points from. Betfred will offer you the best odds on an Argentina win, but even then it is only 4/11.

If you like to champion the underdog or think South Korea might pull some dark horse stuff out of the bag like they did in 2002, then you can get some pretty long odds on them winning this game. Bodog (US Friendly) or Victor Chandler will both give you 9/1 on this eventuality.

The draw here fetches 15/4 with Victor Chandler who offer the best price.

As there isn’t a lot of money to be made backing Argentina, if you think they will win you may want to take a look at the correct score or first goal scorer markets.

2-0 to Argentina has the shortest odds of any score prediction, with Bodog and Victor Chandler among others offering 5/1 on this. 1-0 to Argentina is 6/1 with Bet365.

If you fancy Korea to score you can get Argentina 2-1 for 11/1 and 3-1 for 12/1, in both cases these are the best prices at the time of writing and are offered by Bet365.

For first goal scorer, the name that comes up as the favourite will come as no surprise – Lionel Messi is 11/4 with William Hill. You can also back Milito, Tevez, Aguero or Higuain at 3/1. For South Korea, you can take Manchester United’s Ji-Sung Park at 14/1, though the favourite South Korean player is Dong-Gook Lee who is 8/1.

Prediction

It is hard to see Argentina failing to win this match, and with the number of strong potential goalscorers on their side they should win by a reasonable margin. For this reason the prediction for this match is 3-0 to Argentina, which will fetch you 7/1 with most of our favourite bookmakers.

    Korea has no history in the sport. Their fans are delusional. They beat a poor Greece team and they think they are world beaters. They will come down to Earth when they lose 0-3 on Thursday.

    This is NOT what football is about…

  • Mitchellpark27

    true that.

  • Dasdsad

    Korea will lose.

  • Fireblader2007

    You are correct indeed and I myself as a football lover, and south korean must say that the odds of Korea winning is not very high, however there was also the previous prediction in which South Korea vs Greece would be a fairly even match, this however was delusional and not correct thus the score remained as 2-0

  • - -

    You are incorrect as in the early 20th century South Korea became involved at “soccer” aka football during as early as world war 2, ever since then the sport became rapidly popular and widly apreciated in Korea, so your comment about Korea having no history, you should think before you talk =]

  • Winner

    for real korea is going to win the match. I've bet 500 bucks on them though it's a double chance

  • WhatAJoke
