South Korea vs Morocco Predictions: Expert WWC betting tips
Our expert has three bets for South Korea vs Morocco in match day two of the Women’s World Cup as the groups begin to take shape.
South Korea were disappointing in their opening match against Colombia where they lost 2-0. They are now fighting for their place in the competition having had high hopes ahead of this World Cup. Morocco were beaten 6-0 by Germany in their opening match so defeat here could also spell the end of their hopes of making it to the knockout stage.
South Korea vs Morocco Betting Tips

- South Korea handicap -1 (home -1) @ 9/5 Bet9ja

South Korea to earn their first win of the tournament
The first of our Women’s World Cup tips is for South Korea to get a much-needed victory. They are a clear favourite for this clash and it is easy to see why.
South Korea were runners-up at the last Asian Cup and are ranked 17th in the world by FIFA. They were the 2nd highest-ranked team in the group ahead of the tournament but with a showdown with Germany, the highest-ranked team in Group H, looming in the final group match, they need all three points against Morocco to keep their hopes alive.
They have shown in recent years they are capable of getting a result against strong opponents. The perfect example of this was their win over Australia en route to the final of the Asian Cup.
Morocco are the 2nd lowest-ranked team in the tournament. They are 72nd in the world rankings and they suffered a heavy defeat in their tournament opener.

South Korea to put Morocco to the sword
Our second prediction for this clash is South Korea to win by at least a two-goal margin.
Goal difference could be a key factor in who qualifies from the group. The Koreans are at a clear disadvantage with a match against the Germans awaiting them so this is the perfect opportunity for them to overturn their -2 goal difference.
Morocco had just 26% possession in their opening match. The Koreans should see plenty of possession in this one but they need to ensure they carry a significant attacking threat if they want to score the goals required.
The Koreans have a mix of quality and experience in forward areas and they will be keen to show what they can do after the disappointing showing against Colombia.

Red Angels striker to star
Our final bet is Choe Yu-ri to score at any time in the match. The odds suggest that Korea should have the bulk of the chances and we are backing Yu-ri to be one of the beneficiaries.
Yu-ri was a bright spark in an otherwise dull display from Korea in the first game. She had one shot on target and another blocked. She was also able to create one good chance for her team.
Choe was in fine scoring form for her country last year but has failed to replicate that in 2023 thus far. She was unfortunate not to score in South Korea’s final warm-up game. Her effort was cleared off the line by the opposition defence.
She should start again here and I’m backing her to return to scoring form against significantly weaker opposition.
