Ghana were the first African team to score in the competition and will be looking to continue that goalscoring form in this match. After Australia's 1-0 win over Tunisia on Saturday, South Korea remain the only Asian team without a win in the competition.

South Korea vs Ghana Prediction
South Korea failed to score in their opening game of 2018 as well but scored in the next two games, so they will not be bogged down by their goalless draw against Uruguay.
They will need to secure a win in this match, as a draw or defeat here will put them in a do-or-die situation against Portugal in their final group-stage game on Friday.
The Black Stars have scored in their last six games at the FIFA World Cup and will not go down without a fight. It should be noted that they are winless in five of these games. Ayew has scored in three of Ghana's last four games and will be a key player for them.
Asian teams have done well in the competition recently, but Korea have failed to score in three of their last five games at the World Cup and might fall short of securing a win against a well-balanced Ghana. We expect the Black Stars to emerge victorious.
