World Cup Betting Odds For South Korea

The Taeguk Warriors reached the semi-final stages and finished in fourth place. In the past, South Korea has struggled to perform well when not on Asian soil.

Korea Republic’s Road To The 2018 World Cup

Korea Republic’s road to the 2018 World Cup had its highs and lows. Their second round performance was impressive, where the Taeguk Warriors scored a total of 27 goals over 8 matches with 0 goals conceded. Once this streak was over, Korea Republic seemed to struggle throughout their World Cup campaign. As if the competition itself was not enough, the team also had to deal with changes in staff. After a 3-2 defeat by Qatar, Uli Stielike was fired from his position as head coach of Korea Republic. Shin Tae-Yong was named as his replacement in July 2017 ahead of the KOR – IRA qualifier in August. This came after a 1-0 win in Syria and a 1-0 loss to Korea Republic.

With Tae-yong as manager, the team’s next match against group leader Iran resulted in a goalless draw. It was against Uzbekistan that the Taeguk Warriors were able to claim one of the last remaining spots for Asia’s automatic World Cup entries. Both teams tried to put points on the scoreboard, but match came to yet another goalless draw. It was not a loss, however, and Korea Republic was able to finish second with 15 points for AFC Round 3 Group A.
