In qualifying the Russians were typically economical as they came through to top the group with 7 wins, 1 draw and just 2 losses, scoring 20 goals and conceding just 5 in the process. Following on from a successful qualifying campaign, Russia’s preparation for these finals has followed a similar line, as they are unbeaten in their last 5, including 4 wins – one of which; a 2-1 victory over today’s South Korean opposition back in late 2013.

As for the Koreans, they came through both of the required qualifying groups with relative ease, topping the first of which with 4 wins, 1 draw and a single loss. From their second group, they advanced to the finals after finishing 2nd with 4 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws, scoring 13 and conceding 7 in doing so. Unlike their opponents today, The Koreans preparations haven’t exactly gone to plan, just a single win and 4 losses from their last 5 games, including 4-0 thrashings to both Mexico and Ghana has left them with work to do if they are to progress here.

On the face of things, Russia look a worthy favourite and at the prices they provide the first Russia v South Korea prediction is for Russia to win at 5/2 with Paddy Power. To go in a slightly different direction, Aleksandr Kerzhakov was Russia’s number one hit-man in qualifying, netting 5 times and if the front man lines up here he looks well worth a football betting tip to score any time at 7/4 with Bet365.

So far we have seen most of the opening games be played a quite a frenetic pace, with all teams looking to press hard for that all important opening 3 points and with tough games awaiting these two teams after, this game should be no different. On this basis, the last Russia v South Korea betting tip is over 2.5 match goals at 8/11 with Sky Bet.
