SOUTH KOREA v ALGERIA:1st GAME

South Korea opened up with a 1-1 draw with Russia. It was a game they slightly edged to be fair but both sides looked a ittle low in quality. South Korea had the share of the possesion but didnt really create much in the way of clear cut chances. They scored from a terrible howler from Russia keeper Akinfeev. Algeria had the upper hand for about an hour against big group favourites Begium. However they could not keep the tempo up and conceded twice to lose the match.

BETTING ANALYSIS

We got the value in this game of 3.75 (11/4) on Algeria. The North Africans are no bigger than 3.40 (12/5) now after opening round of games. This one is a must win for both sides, either side loses you would think that would be the end of their tournament. South Korea are around equal at best to Algeria so to see quotes of 2.25 on Korea are a joke. Big value still remaining on Algeria.
