South Korea vs Ghana Prediction - 2022 World Cup: Who Will Win?

Of all the World Cup 2022 predictions we have made so far, the South Korea vs Ghana prediction is one of the toughest. This Group H match on Monday 28/11/2022 at 13:00 will be very evenly matched. For this reason, we have analysed every tiny detail of both teams' path to qualify for Qatar, as well as possible formations, backgrounds and every piece of information that can be used to prepare this prediction. This will make it easier to place your South Korea vs Ghana bets.

⚽ South Korea National Team

The South Korea national team is one of the teams that has had the strongest preparation for the 2022 World Cup. They are ranked 28th in the FIFA rankings, so they want to raise their level to compete against the best teams in the world.

👟 How Did South Korea Qualify?

South Korea had a bit of a head start in the AFC Qualifiers. They were in Group H, which played 2 games less than the rest, as North Korea announced their withdrawal from the competition in 2021.

Except for a 0-0 draw at home to Lebanon, South Korea won all their matches and topped Group H: they scored 22 goals and conceded only 1. This meant their ticket to the 3rd round of the qualifiers.

They were placed in Group A, where they had a very interesting duel with Iran. The South Koreans ended up qualifying for the 2022 World Cup behind the Iranians, but with a big advantage over the third place.

🔝 South Korea Players to Follow

With an average age of 27.4, South Korea have one of the most experienced World Cup teams. However, there are some promising young players who are already making their way into the team.

Here are some of the standout players in South Korea:

• Heung-min Son (Tottenham)
• Ui-jo Hwang (Olympiakos)
• Min-jae Kim (Napoli)
• Kang-in Lee (Mallorca)
• Hee-chan Hwang (Wolves)

The biggest problem for South Korea is that Son Heung-min is not having a good season with Tottenham. Considering he is the team's most dangerous player, this could affect them considerably.

⚽ Ghana National Team

At 61st in the FIFA rankings, Ghana's national team is the weakest team in the entire World Cup (on paper, of course). They have failed to win even half of their matches this year.

👟 How Did Ghana Qualify?

The Ghana National Team started the CAF Qualifiers straight into the 2nd round. We'll give you a heads up that they were the team with the least "merit" when it came to qualifying for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

They were tied with South Africa at the top of Group G. The only reason they advanced was because they scored 1 goal more than their opponents. They even closed the tie with the same goal difference.

In the third round they faced Nigeria. The first leg, which they played at home, ended 0-0; while the second leg was 1-1. Ghana's qualification was due to the away goal rule.

🔝 Ghana Players to Watch

Unlike other years, the Ghanaian national team does not have many top players. However, most of their players still have long careers ahead of them, as they average 24.9 years.

Here are some of Ghana's outstanding players:

• Thomas Partey (Arsenal)
• Tariq Lamptey (Brighton)
• Kamaldeen Sulemana (Stade Rennais)
• Iñaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao)
• Mohammed Salisu (Southampton)

Perhaps the most interesting fact about Ghana is that, barring any surprises, one of their players should break Asamoah Gyan's appearance record. We are talking about André Ayew.
