South Korea vs. Ghana 2022 FIFA World Cup Preview

South Korea clashes with Ghana in a crucial game in 2022 FIFA World Cup Group G action on Monday.

South Korea fought to a valuable 0-0 draw against Uruguay, displaying a lot of tactical order while Ghana took Portugal to the limit and deserved more in their 3-2 loss on Thursday.

The player to watch in this game is Son Heung-Min, who has three goals and two assists in 13 Premier League games with Tottenham Hotspur this season. AccuScore gives Son Heung-Min a 50.6 percent chance to score against Ghana. He has 52 SCA and 6 GCA in 13 Premier League games with Tottenham Hotspur this season.

FBRef defines SCA as “the two offensive actions leading directly to a shot, such as passes, dribbles and drawing fouls.” GCA is “the two offensive actions leading directly to a goal, such as passes, dribbles and drawing fouls.” Let’s take a closer look at where the value is at in this matchup.
