Nigeria v South Korea Group B Odds: Must Win World Cup Match for Super Eagles

Despite two defeats from two games, Lars Lagerback, head Coach of Nigeria will know that a robust winning performance from his team against South Korea in this third Group B match in Durban could still be enough for them to qualify for the Round of 16. That said the Bookmakers, have differing opinions on the likely outcome, with some making the Koreans favourites and others who prefer Nigeria. Paddy Power for instance quote Nigeria at 6/5 to win and have South Korea at a best price of 2/1, with the draw an 11/5 option.

Lagerback will also be aware that the South Korean confidence would have taken a nosedive following their 1-4 defeat at the hands of tournament favourites, Argentina the other day and that they will need to regroup quickly if they are to pose a threat.

Nigeria v South Korea Latest Odds Comparison

Even if Nigeria should win they will need Argentina to do them a favour by disposing of Greece by some distance. At the same time Nigeria will need to play at their best and use their physicality over the smaller Korean team to their advantage. This aspect will be particularly important in set pieces, where the Africans will have a big advantage.

South Korea of course will know that a draw against Nigeria and a win for Argentina over Greece, will be enough to see them through to the Round of 16. But being very much a team who likes to go forward, they are not necessarily at their best with the ball coming on to them and they will be taking a big chance if they look to play for a draw. They will also be particularly wary of Nigerian midfielder, Kalu Uche, who can deliver from set pieces as well as make penetrating runs from midfield. Uche has already been on the scoresheet in this World Cup and he looks a sound bet to us at 9/1 to score the first goal of this match with paddypower

We think that Nigeria will win this game, but we think also that they will find it very hard and will only win by one goal. We would back a 1-0 win at 13/2 with Paddy Power. com and would consider doubling up on that by backing them at 11/2 in the Half Time/Full Time market, for the two sides to be level at half time but with Nigeria going on to win it in the second half.
