South Korea have more class players than they are given credit for but they still have a tough task if they are to match their efforts of 2002 and their World Cup odds look right.

South Korea have had a decent qualifying campaign but obviously they need to improve against the better opposition the World Cup Finals will provide.
There is little doubt that South Korea are an improving side but there lack of World Cup form when not hosting would be a massive worry to any backers of the South Korea World Cup odds and they may suffer the same fate that they have suffered in four of the last five World Cups.
Back South Korea's stage of elimination to be the Group Stage
The bookies have differing views about South Korea and the South Korea World Cup odds and the biggest quotes look fairer. South Korea make little appeal as a side who will have a big impact on the World Cup.
South Korea may not have the best World Cup and we think the best exchange bet is to lay them to qualify from their group which should be decent enough odds.
Best Spread Bet On South Korea
South Korea will struggle to even reach the second round of the World Cup so selling them in the outright tournament index looks the right move.
