South Korea vs Portugal Odds: Expect goals in this key Group H Fixture

Portugal have already secured their passage to the Round of 16 and that might be a help for South Korea who need to win and help from the other game. As always we review some of the most popular betting markets and prices currently available at Betfred...

Cristiano Ronaldo anytime goalscorer backers will be cursing the technology in the ball that took 'his' goal away from him in the 2-0 victory over Uruguay on Monday. The 37 year-old is being heavily linked with a move to this part of the world with a reputed £173m a year offer on the table from Saudi club Al Nassr but for now his attention will be very much focused on taking his country as far as possible in this World Cup.

With qualification assured however, we'll see if Fernando Santos will take this opportunity to rest his star man for more important games down the road. CR7 is 6/4 to score anytime and 9/2 to be carded for those who are looking for Ronaldo specific options along with 3/1 to have 3+ Shots on Target.

Speaking of Shots on Target, we have added plenty of new player prop bets that are available around 24-48 hours before kick-off including tackles, assists and Shots on Target. You can check out all our latest prices for this one via the Latest South Korea vs Portugal Odds button below.

Away from one of the most famous sportsmen on the planet, this game has every opportunity to be relatively open with goals flowing at either end. We saw South Korea have 22 shots with seven of them on target in a thrilling game with Ghana earlier in the week. The comeback in the second-half was a sight to behold and showed that they have plenty of attacking endeavour but have weaknesses at the back. BTTS is unsurprisingly odds-on at 4/5 but that still isn't a bad play. The same price is on offer for Over 2.5 goals.

Cho Gue-sung scored both of South Korea's goals in that game and he's 7/2 to score anytime and is available at Even money to register 1+ Shots on Target. Considering how they'll be forced to play with a win the only option, this is a prop bet I love and is a very viable option for a PickYourPunt Bet Builder.

That 7/2 price is the same as what his side are to win the game outright. I suspect that takes into account the fact Portugal may use some form of squad rotation but still it is an interesting price. 3/1 for the draw and 3/4 for the Portuguese victory are the other prices available in the Match Result Market.
