Gameday in Al Rayyan for the round 1 of the group H between Uruguay & South Korea.

Uruguay will be without Ronal Araujo even if they are pushing to get him available for the WC later.

South Korea hasn't any problem about the players who are called for this WC. The bad thing for the player not called is Nam Tae-hee.

Uruguay qualified for the WC with the rank 3 behind Brazil & Argentina and in front of Ecuador & Peru with 8 wins, 4 draws & 6 losses for 22 goals scored & 22 goals conceded.

On their side South Korea qualified for the WC with the rank 2 behind Iran and in front of UAE with 7 wins, 2 draws & 1 loss for 13 goals scored & 3 goals conceded.

It will depend a lot about the intention of Uruguay because they are not always an offensively minded team but clearly they have a very talented team, I think it's a country that it's not expected to do something but they might surprise.

In front they will have Luis Suarez with Darwin Nunez it's gonna be a great mix between experience and young talent. Midfield is the best part of their field with Valverde, De Arrascaeta, Vecino & Bentancur.

South Korea rely a lot on their key player Heung-min Son but I don't know his form for this game, he got an operation and will have to play with a mask, he might be disturbed by that.

South Korea isn't playing a very good football since years now, I'm really not a fan of Paulo Bento who is struggling to make South Korea getting an identity.

Key of this game will be the midfield so I expect Uruguay to dominate this game and win 1-0 or 2-0.
