Russia v South Korea Free Betting Tips and Predictions

The final game in the first round of the group stage sees Fabio Capello's Russia take on South Korea in Cuiaba. Tune into BBC at 23:00 and here are some free World Cup 2014 betting tips. 

In one of the tighter groups at the World Cup, Russia will be looking to continue their fine form and register a win before their heavyweight clash with Belgium the following week. Since topping their qualifying group in a stingy campaign that saw them ship a mere five goals, the Russians have also won three and drawn once in their last four friendlies, conceding only once in the process. In such intense conditions, Russia could prove to be a very tough nut to crack.

Opponents on Tuesday, South Korea finished top of an initial four team qualifying group that included Lebanon, Kuwait and United Arab Emirates. Winning four and drawing one of these six games they then went on to face the AFC big-guns of Iran, Uzbekistan, Qatar and Lebanon in their final qualifying group – finishing second to Iran and thus booking their place at the finals. However, In their pre-tournament friendlies, the South Koreans have not fared so well. With only one win from five games, it's clear that the difference in class of opposition has played a factor in these results. 

Browsing the early prices the bookies have Russia as best priced 13/10 favourites, with South Korea 11/4 underdogs and the draw similarly priced at 11/5. Considering Russia's excellent defensive record, these odds are extremely generous. Whilst the conditions will obviously suit South Korea, it's not like the Russians play every game on the North Pole. Therefore, back a Russia win at 13/10 with Bet365, along with a 2-0 win at 9/1 with William Hill. Although these aren't the best odds, the bookmaker currently runs a promotion that will refund correct score bets in the event of a 0-0.

Heading into the goalscorer markets, one player immediately leapt out at me and that was Alexander Kokorin. The Dynamo Moscow forward scored ten goals in just twenty games this season, as well as also notching four times in Russia's qualifying campaign. A 12/5 shot to score anytime with William Hill, I would also be inclined to back him to score first at 6/1 with the same bookmaker. Once again, William Hill offer a promotion that will refund your stake if your player scores second.
