South Korea

Outlook

On the numbers, South Korea (FIFA #25, 1589 ELO) sit in the mid-tier, dangerous on their day but not among the favourites. Across 10,000 simulations of Group A, the model has South Korea advancing 69% of the time, so they are roughly even money to advance from their group. These are statistical estimates and update as results come in, not guarantees.

South Korea have won 6 of their last 10 matches (60% win rate), scoring 13 and conceding 8 (1.3 for and 0.8against per game). This recent form feeds directly into the model's prediction for every match they play.
