by JohnnyBet from

The FIFA Under-20 World Cup has reached the final stage of the competition. It has been a tremendous event, hosted by Poland with many exciting matches. However, we have just two teams remaining in the tournament.

On Saturday 15th June, Ukraine U-20 will meet South Korea U-20 in the final of the FIFA Under-20 World Cup. The game will be played at the 18,000 capacity Łódź Stadium.

This will be the first appearance in the Under-20 World Cup final for the Ukraine U-20 team and the same applies for South Korea U-20’s. The question is, which team will come out on top? Read on for our Ukraine U-20 vs South Korea U-20 betting tips and for U-20 World Cup final betting odds.

1. Ukraine vs Korea Predictions

This is only the fourth appearance in the Under-20 World Cup for Ukraine U-20 and they do not have a great deal of experience when it comes to reaching finals at any level of the game. However, they have enjoyed themselves at the 2019 FIFA Under-20 World Cup.

Ukraine U-20 were drawn in a group with United States U-20, Nigeria U-20 and Qatar U-20. The latter were not expected to put up much of a fight and so it turned out but Ukraine U-20 faced competition from United States U-20 and Nigeria U-20. They started well, with a 2-1 win over United States U-20 before defeating Qatar U-20 1-0. This put them in a strong position and a draw with Nigeria U-20 saw them top the group.

This led to a round of 16 game with Panama U-20, which Ukraine U-20 won comfortably. The quarter-final and semi-final were tough matches against Colombia U-20 and Italy U-20 respectively but Ukraine U-20 came through 1-0 in both games to reach the final.

They have shown a toughness and resolve to get through the latter stages and that will hold Ukraine U-20 in good stead for the final. The Ukraine U-20 vs South Korea U-20 betting odds have Ukraine U-20 as the slight favourite, priced at 6/4 with bet365 to win the match.

2. Ukraine vs Korea Preview

Next in our U-20 World Cup final predictions we take a look at South Korea. Despite having made the knockout stages of the past four FIFA Under-20 World Cup finals, South Korea U-20 did not come close to winning the tournament.

It is somewhat of a surprise to see them in the final but the same can be said of Ukraine U-20 to some extent.

South Korea U-20 were placed in a tough looking group with Argentina U-20, Portugal U-20 and South Africa U-20. The Argentines and Portuguese were fancied by many to do well and South Korea U-20 suffered defeat in their opening game of the tournament to Portugal U-20. At this point, there were not many U-20 World Cup final betting tips predicting South Korea U-20 would reach the final.

A narrow 1-0 win over South Africa U-20 in their second group game gave South Korea U-20 a chance and they took it by beating Argentina U-20 2-1 in their final match of the group stage to finish second.

This saw an all Asian affair against Japan U-20 in the round of 16 which South Korea U-20 won 1-0 but they required penalties to defeat Senegal U-20 in the quarter-final following a thrilling 3-3 draw. South Korea U-20 then defeated Ecuador U-20 1-0 in the semi-final to progress to the show-piece occasion.

It has not been an easy run to the final and the Ukraine U-20 vs South Korea U-20 betting odds have the latter as the outsiders, priced at 2/1 with bet365.

3. Ukraine vs Korea Betting Odds

Ukraine U-20 have been excellent defensively throughout the tournament. They conceded only 2 goals in the group stages and just a single goal in the knockout stages of the tournament. They kept a clean sheet in both the quarter-final and the semi-final, doing so with 10 men for the last 10 minutes against Italy.

Therefore, many U-20 World Cup final predictions are leaning towards a Ukraine U-20 defensive masterclass. You can back Ukraine U-20 to win to nil at 11/4 with bet365.

For those interested in the correct score market, Ukraine U-20 have scored just once in four of their games during the tournament. This suggests they are unlikely to run rampant in the final and the Ukraine U-20 vs South Korea U-20 betting odds with bet365 offer 5/1 for Ukraine U-20 to win 1-0.
