Great Britain v South Korea betting is the quarter final line up facing Stuart Pearce as he tries to guide the host nation to an unlikely medal. Great Britain took a 1-0 win over the disappointing Uruguay side on Wednesday, and match which clinched top spot in Group A of the Olympic football tournament. A goal from Chelsea’s Daniel Sturridge was enough to see off the South Americans and to eliminate them from the tournament. That was a great confidence boost for Great Britain, who, slowly but surely are growing into the tournament slowly but surely. The match against Uruguay saw Great Britain put together their most cohesive performance, looking as if the understanding between the players in the make-shift side is growing.
Ironically in winning the group, Great Britain now have a tougher path to the final, as they will likely meet Brazil in the semi finals. Senegal, who finished runners up behind Great Britain, have a much easier quarter of the draw behind Spain crashed out. So there is still a lot of work to be done by Stuart Pearce’s men, but at least they are looking like a unit. The back line worked much better together and while there is not a lot of flair in the side, especially through the middle of the park, they are working hard. Great Britain do not genuinely look as if they are going to create a lot of chances in their matches, but as long as they take the ones that they do, then they may just be able to grind their way through this.
Great Britain v South Korea betting will have the host nation as favourite. South Korea finished second in Group B, arguably the easiest group of the tournament. South Korea, after opening with a 0-0 draw against Mexico, beat Switzerland 2-1 before picking up another 0-0 draw against Gabon. So nothing too much for Great Britain to fear, and they will have that extra man from the home support on their side away. A place in the semi final awaits, and apart from Brazil, the tournament really is wide open at the moment. With their progress, Great Britain are now trading as second favourites at a price of 7/1 with online bookmaker Bet365, behind favourites Brazil at 4/7.
