Ghana Analysis and Forecast:

The African country that had a heroic run at the 2010 World Cup until Luis Suarez’s deliberate handball shattered Ganin’s hearts, dooming them to defeat, will be looking for revenge as the tie pits them against Uruguay once again.

Ghana participated in three consecutive World Cups in 2006, 2010 and 2014. However, the Black Stars failed to qualify for the 2018 edition in Russia.

They secured their place in Qatar as CAF Third Round winners. Despite being the weakest team in the group, the African nation will be looking to create an upset and cause upsets in this tough group, especially against Oguruay.

South Korea Analysis and Forecast:

The Asian side, captained by Tottenham Hotspur star Heung-min-soon, will make their 11th consecutive World Cup appearance in Qatar.

South Korea secured their rightful place in Qatar after qualifying for the first time in the AFC Group A Qualifiers. They shone during their qualification campaign, picking up 23 points in nine matches to secure their place in Doha.

Son will be looking to help his side advance to the final rounds, but a lack of depth and lack of experience against a high-quality opponent could be crucial in a complex group.

South Korea squad:

goalkeepers: Kim Sung-kyu (Youth), Jo Hyun-woo (Ulsan Hyundai), Sung Bum-kyun (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors)

The Defenders: Kim Jin-soo (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors), Hong Chul (Daegu FC), Kim Moon-hwan (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors), Kim Young-gwon (Ulsan Hyundai), Kwon Kyung-won (Gamba Osaka), Kim Tae-hwan (Ulsan Hyundai ), Cho Yu-min (Daejeon Hana Citizen), Kim Min-jae (Napoli), Yoon Jung-gyu (FC Seoul)

Uruguay Analysis and Forecast:

Historically distinguished South American national team, which won its first FIFA World Cup title in 1930 and repeated the feat in 1950.

Their recent performances on the international stage have entertained viewers all over the world as memories of Diego Forlan’s amazing performance at the 2010 World Cup are still fresh in their minds.

La Celeste has an attacking force to be reckoned with being led by the footballer in the 2010 match against Ghana, Suarez. Edinson Cavani will line up alongside his long-term attacking partner, whose emergence of Darwin Nunez has boosted the squad’s firepower.

And Diego Alonso replaced the country’s former coach, Oscar Tabarez, who helped the nation land Qatar as the team ushered in a four-goal win after hopes looked dim.

The midfield also looks very strong, featuring players such as Champions League winner Federico Valverde and Rodrigo Bentancur, while strong defense Diego Godin will lead the team from behind.

Uruguay tends to qualify for the knockout stages from this interesting group, as they edge out teams like Ghana and South Korea.

goalkeepers: Fernando Muslera (Galatasaray), Sergio Rocher (Nacional), Sebastian Sosa (Independiente)

The Defenders: Diego Godin (Velez Sarsfield), Jose Gimenez (Atletico Madrid), Martin Caceres (Los Angeles Galaxy), Sebastian Coates (Sporting CP), Matias Fina (Roma), Ronald Araujo (Barcelona), Guillermo Varela (Flamingo), Matias Oliveira (Napoli), Jose Luis Rodriguez (Nacional)
