So far, Ghana and South Korea have had a variety of trips to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. A single event is apparently enough to know what may happen next. Taking Ghana vs. South Korea forward for demonstration, South Korea is ranked second in Group H after a goalless draw. On the other hand, Ghana lost to Portugal with a -1 GD and a tally of 3-2 against them.
Ghana is now placed at the bottom of the table with no option but to fight for survival.

South Korea looks to cement its chances in the knockout round. This will be somewhat historical in reference to the fact that South Korea last made it to the knockout stage in 2010. While the side went goalless in their previous fixture, it did demonstrate the strength of its defense against the attack of Federico Valverde and Diego Godin.
Furthermore, the return of Son Heung-min from an eye socket fracture has given South Korea hope of progressing further in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. However, with Hwang Hee-chan now suffering from a hamstring strain, everything is out of whack. He was benched for the entire event, but having him by the side ready for power shots gave relief. That chance is now gone.
Ghana will send its only two goal scorers against Portugal. Andre Ayew and Osman Bukari nearly equalized the scoreboard before Rafael Leao stole the limelight with 10 minutes remaining for the final whistle. The action in the second half was weighted toward Portugal. Christiano Ronaldo punched the first accelerator in the 65th minute to convert a penalty into the net.
South Korea fights to inch closer to the knockout, and Ghana will look to keep its hopes alive. A match ending in a draw with one goal for each team is the highest possibility at the moment. The most recent meeting between the two sides was at a friendly event in 2014, which Ghana won. It was accomplished by Jordan Ayew, whose hat trick brought the score from 4 to 0.
The tide has shifted, and the odds on top FIFA betting sites favor South Korea. Ghana has only won 2 events out of the last 6 in all competitions, losing 3 and drawing 1. South Korea has not lost a match in its last six events. A total of 3 wins and 3 draws, including the one in their last FIFA World Cup fixture, has them riding high on confidence.
South Korea will next face Portugal, and Ghana will go up against Uruguay in its upcoming match. Meanwhile, Portugal and Uruguay are scheduled to play next on November 29, 2022, at 00:30 IST.
