Uruguay vs South Korea, FIFA World Cup 2022: Dream11 Prediction, Possible Line-ups and Fantasy Tips

Bengaluru, November 23: Uruguay and South Korea will battle in their opening FIFA World Cup 2022 in Group H where fans can expect a tight and tense match between the two countries chasing a possible spot in the next round.

Group H looks to be a close one on paper, with Portugal and Uruguay being labelled as the favorites to progress. And with that in mind, this game could be a deciding factor in the group.

Uruguay is one of the sides entering this tournament with a decent overall form for this season. They finished third in their South American qualifiers and lost only once in their last five friendlies.

The South American team have always procured big results on the grandest of the stage. They reached the quarter-finals in 2018 but will be confident of improving on that performance this time with a squad full of budding talents and star names.

Paulo Bento is in charge of South Korea, who easily qualified for the World Cup finals after finishing behind Iran in the Asian qualifiers for Qatar 2022.

They have now been involved in ten straight World Cups. However, considering the competition in the group, they need to produce something phenomenal to make it to the next round.
