URUGUAY VS SOUTH KOREA LAST MINUTE WORLD CUP BETTING PREDICTIONS
We're just under an hour from kick-off here in on the opening match of the 2010 World Cup Group Stages. We have two tournament upstarts that savvy punters would have foreseen getting through the group stage and, after a quick examination of the odds, you realize that Uruguay are the distinct favourites here.
You'll find the Uruguayans price at 1.83 to win the 90 minutes market- that's an unchanged price over the last 24 hours. South Korea are listed at 4.5 while the draw can be backed at 3.4.
In regards to outright qualification (this includes penalties and extra-time), you'll find Uruguay at 1.4 and Korea Republic at 2.75.
Here are the starting lineups for Uruguay vs South Korea:
Uruguay: 1-Fernando Muslera; 2-Diego Lugano, 3-Diego Godin, 4-Jorge Fucile, 16-Maximiliano Pereira, 15-Diego Perez, 17-Egidio Arevalo, 7-Edinson Cavani, 11-Alvaro Pereira, 9-Luis Suarez, 10-Diego Forlan.
South Korea: 18-Jung Sung-ryong; 22-Cha Du-ri, 12-Lee Young-pyo, 4-Cho Yong-hyung, 14-Lee Jung-soo, 8-Kim Jung-woo, 16-Ki Sung-yong, 13-Kim Jae-sung, 7-Park Ji-sung, 17-Lee Chung-yong, 10-Park Chu-young.
There's no massive surprised here, and all the usual suspects are available. Diego Forlan is the favoured goalscorer at a 2.1 margin while Luis Suarez is priced at 2.75. You'll find Sebastian Abreu at 3.25 while Edinson Cavani trades alongside Park Chu Young at 3.5.
Sebastian Fernandez is priced at 4.33 while Ahn Jung Hwan and Lee Dong Gook both trade at 4.5. You'll find Park Ji-Sung listed at 5.0.
I think that Uruguay are solid favourites, but South Korea's workrate could win the day of the Asians grab the first goal.
