Belgium v South Korea Betting Tips and Predictions

June 25, 2014January 31, 2015 Thatsbettingtips Staff

It's make or break time for South Korea as they face up against Group H leaders Belgium on Thursday night. The 21:00 kick off is live on ITV and here are some free World Cup 2014 betting tips.

With two straight wins, Belgium have booked their place in the last 16 of the World Cup and will be looking to guarantee the top spot and a preferred route into the quarter-finals. Despite picking up six points, the Belgians have been particularly unremarkable in their performances and it's has taken late goals in both games to secure their victories. Thursday's encounter is likely to be an ideal opportunity for Marc Wilmots to freshen things up in his team, with Romelu Lukaku's place under serious threat following his substitution tantrum last week. No one likes getting the hook, but you're asking for trouble if you react in such a manner – At least he didn't bite someone on the bench.

Opponents South Korea currently prop up Group H with one point from their opening two fixtures. However, if results go their way, they still have a chance of making it to the knockout stages. The Koreans need to beat Belgium comfortably, then rely on several possible outcomes in the other game. Considering Belgium have only conceded two goals in their last five internationals, this is going to be a tough ask.
Bookies currently have Belgium as 4/5 favourites, with South Korea best priced 17/4 underdogs. The draw is on offer at 11/4 and could be worth a punt considering Belgium are likely to rest a few players and South Korea are chasing a big win.

However, with only one clean sheet in their last five matches, the Koreans are always going to struggle at the back against high calibre opposition. Therefore back a Belgium win at 4/5, along with a Belgium win and both teams to score at 11/4 with Bet365. Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't see this as a BTTS but considering the urgency of a Korea win I would expect them to be far more adventurous going forward, but also heavily susceptible to the counter-attack.

Heading into the goalscoring markets, Kevin Mirallas was particularly lively in his substitutes appearance against Russia and could well get the nod on Thursday. The Everton man is a serious contender for dead-ball duties as well as being a potent weapon on the fast break. An 11/5 shot with Bet365, back Mirallas to score anytime.
