Odds correct at time of writing.

Uruguay's ex-United striker Diego Forlan is 12.0 (11/1) to finish as top goalscorer but should Park’s South Korea team really be 5.0 (4/1) to go through? We think not and recommend you back them.

Javier Hernandez’s record of nine goals in 15 international appearances includes the strike that kickstarted Mexico’s World Cup campaign against France and they will need all of his exuberance if they are to win on Sunday night at 7.6 (13/2).
Their opponents Argentina are much fancied at 1.56 (4/6) but Chicharito might unsettle their ageing defence. This could be a classic and we'll back the draw at 4.3 (100/30)
