In the match of the first round of the group stage at the Qatar World Cup in Al Rayyan, Uruguay will play against South Korea.
UruguayDiego Alonso's team gathered late enough and did not play friendly matches before the start of the World Cup.
In general, Uruguay has a pretty good squad, which at the same time does not play very stable at times, which affects the results. Uruguay can defeat Panama with a score of 5:0, but then concede to Iran with a score of 0:1. However, given the composition of group H in this match, Diego Alonso's team should immediately play to win in order to indicate their ambitions to reach the playoffs of the tournament.
South KoreaBut Paulo Bento's team managed to hold one friendly match in November before the start of the World Cup.
On the 11th, South Korea played a fairly confident match against Iceland on its field in Hwaseong, but at the same time won a minimal victory with a score of 1:0. The only goal in this confrontation was scored by Min-Kyu Song from the transfer of Gu-Song Cho, it happened in the 33rd minute. Then South Korea could have scored at least one more goal, but the realization of the moments in this confrontation was far from the best.
South Korea and Uruguay last played each other in October 2018. Then, in a friendly match that took place in Seoul, South Korea won with a score of 2:1.
ForecastIn this match, Uruguay is considered by the bookmakers to be a pretty clear favorite, which is quite fair.
However, while the form of Diego Alonso's team raises questions. There may be a good confrontation here, and therefore we suggest that you put more than 2.5 goals on the total.
