Two forecasts for matches with the participation of the Portuguese successfully passed, against Ghana they hoped for two goals of the Portuguese, and against Uruguay they took a clear victory for 1.9.

According to statistics, Portugal scores an average of 2.2 goals per match, scored in 8 out of 10 matches, conceded in 4 out of 10. The top scorers are Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo, followed by Diogo Jota (misses this tournament). Of the assistants, I would mention Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.

Portugal is the favorite, South Korea is the underdog. The last time these teams played at the World Cup was in 2002, when the Koreans defeated the Portuguese (1:0) in the group stage.

Twice the forecasts for the Portuguese national team worked, the Portuguese play stably and the results of their matches can be predicted. I will assume that Portugal will win, but South Korea can catch on for one goal.
