Belgium v South Korea Bets – Enhanced 7/2 odds on Belgium to win World Cup clash

Latest Belgium v South Korea free bets, plus latest betting odds from the World Cup as Paddy Power enhance the price on a Belgium win to 7/2 from 5/6.

South Korea need to beat the already qualified Belgium if they are to have any hope of reaching the last 16.

A point for the highly talented Belgian’s will guarantee them top spot, after narrow unconvincing wins over Algeria and Russia.

South Korea’s abysmal first half display against Algeria means their chances of qualification are incredibly slim.

The African nation was 3-0 up at the interval, meaning Korea had too much to do in the second period, eventually losing 4-2.

Belgium left it late to overcome Russia in a poor spectacle, where the much fancied Red Devils struggled once again.

Substitute Divock Origi won the game for Belgium with just two minutes of the fixture remaining, as Belgium guaranteed their place in the knock out stages.

South Korea have never beaten Belgium, although all three of the international meetings were played in the 1990’s.

The pair have met twice at World Cup’s, with Belgium winning 2-0 in the 1990 competition, before a 1-1 draw eight yeasr later.

Lee Keun-ho will be hoping to start ahead of Arsenal forward Park Chu-Young, who has been poor so far.

Key man Son Heung-min scored against Algeria, however will need to improve if South Korea have any chance of progressing.

Origi will be hoping to have done enough to edge the struggling Romelu Lukaku, although the Chelsea forward may well keep his place.

Marouane Fellaini had more impact off the bench and in a more forward position than he did in the holding role on Sunday afternoon.
