The winner of this match will play Ghana or the United States. The winner of this match, much like the winner of the other match, will think they have a very good chance of making the semi-finals and nobody is wrong.

This really does offer up a fantastic opportunity for whoever does wins and you can be assured that the match will be one of the most entertaining of the World Cup so far, because both teams will know that they have to attack - they can not win, sitting back.

So, to be able to confidently predict who is going to win, we should have a look at how each team got to the final sixteen.

Match Details

• Venue: Port Elizabeth
• Date: Saturday, 26 June 2010
• Kick-off: 4.00pm

Uruguay

Uruguay won twice and drew to finish top of their group and they looked good. They will be very confident going into this match and we fancy they will have too much for South Korea. They only dropped points when drawing with France in their opening game.

South Korea

If South Korea finished on the same points and goal difference in Group A - they wouldn't have gotten through to the last sixteen and my local pub team would have beaten Greece - the only team South Korea beat on their way to the last sixteen.

Opposition View

Uruguay coach, Oscar Tabarez
There's a saying among coaches that football is like a short blanket: it covers your head or it covers your feet, and if it covers your head, your toes are in the air.

South Korea midfielder, Park Ji-sung
We ourselves don’t have a clear conviction of how far we can go. But in 2002, we made it to the semi-finals and I don’t think that was just because it was on home ground. We will do our best to prove that was not the case. I can’t compare this team to the 2002 team. That was the best team in our history but this 2010 team is improving and we have got through the first round of games.

Prediction

South Korea have done well to get here but they will be found out today and we wouldn't be surprised to see two or three goals in this match.
