Football World Cup: Match Odds Suggest Greece Too Strong For South Korea

Group B gets underway on Saturday lunch time with a tight looking match-up between Greece and South Korea at the brand spanking new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, it looks like being a cracking match up with plenty of value on offer for punters. The Greeks will always be remembered for winning Euro 2004 and they are the slight favourites to pick up the three points against South Korea. Greece can be backed at 7/4 with Ladbrokes to win the match and looking at the two squads they are the justifiable favourites against a team in South Korea that should struggle to get out of the group.

This is a crucial game for both sides if they have any designs on making it through to the last 16 bearing in mind Argentina's presence in Group B, Diego Maradona's men are expected to claim the top spot leaving that all important second spot up for grabs. Both of these teams will be eyeing up qualification and Greece in particular look in a good position to achieve that, they have a strong experienced squad in South Africa and should have too much here. Georgios Samaras has had a decent season with Celtic and should start for the Greeks, he is capable of scoring from anywhere making the 8/1 with Ladbrokes.com about him scoring in the first game an excellent bet.

South Korea are no mugs though as they showed back in 2002 when they went all the way to the Semi-Finals on home soil, they are regular qualifiers for the tournament and will be no pushovers for the Greeks. This reflected in the match odds with the Koreans priced at 13/8 with Ladbrokes to pick up the three points, those odds tell us that the bookmakers are wary of the Koreans in Port Elizabeth and they should be watched very closely.

We believe that Greece will be too strong here though, they are very powerful as they showed during qualification and we take them to pick up the three points on the way to qualification for the last 16 of the tournament.
