South Korea have to beat Portugal in their final Group H match on Friday to stand any chance of making it through to the knock-out stages of the 2022 World Cup.
The Portuguese are top and have already secured passage to the last 16 thanks to wins over Uruguay and Ghana but they’ll want to make sure that’s where they finish to avoid facing Brazil on Tuesday.
Things look far more desperate for the South Koreans, who need to win and hope that Uruguay beat Ghana or the game ends in a draw.

South Korea v Portugal prediction
Fernando Santos will be tempted to ring the changes given his side have already qualified, but the prospect of facing Brazil in the last 16 if they don’t come top may just mean he keeps a fair few of his key players in.
It’s a difficult one to manage for South Korea, who will know that pushing too hard too early could leave space open for Portugal’s host of impressive attacking players to put them to the sword. They have to seize the initiative though and try to get more out of their talisman.
Expect this one to be tight early on and for the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva to make the difference once the South Koreans start really chasing the win.
