South Korea take on Morocco in round two of the World Cup group stage. The upcoming game will take place at Hindmarsh Stadium this coming Sunday.
South Korea rank number three with zero points after their opening match in Group H, while Morocco have zero points as number four.
Missing out on three points in their upcoming World Cup group match will be next to scandalous for South Korea. Assuming a few more tough matches are coming up, securing a win here is essential. Imagine coming into the World Cup hoping to cause some opponents some trouble and then getting totally hammered in the opening round. Morocco were left bleeding against Germany and the question is whether they have licked their wounds.
Team form: South Korea vs Morocco
South Korea Form
South Korea hope to get back to winning ways after first beating Zambia by 5-0, before winning 2-1 against Haiti. The streak ended in a recent 2-0 defeat against Colombia. It was hit and miss for South Korea in recent times, as they won five of their last 10 matches across all tournaments, suffering four defeats and one draw.
Morocco Form
In their past three games, Morocco drew 0-0 against Switzerland, lost 0-1 to Jamaica, and lost 6-0 against Germany. Morocco earned a moderate two wins in their last 10 internationals. They manage a tie in two of the matches and lost four of them.
South Korea should be too strong at Hindmarsh Stadium to drop any points against Morocco, and combining the home win with over 2.5 goals looks like the value bet.
