The opening match in Group H features two of the Premier League's biggest names as Darwin Nunez's Uruguay face Son Heung-min's South Korea.

The Tottenham forward has not played since fracturing his eye socket at the start of the month but is set to don the captain's armband and a face mask to help his country on the biggest stage of them all.

Son starred as South Korea breezed through qualification but their recent World Cup record is poor having crashed out in the group stage at the last two editions.

Uruguay emerged as the best of the rest behind Brazil and Argentina in South American qualifying and head coach Diego Alonso possesses a squad brimming with quality and experience.

The two-time World Cup winners reached the quarter-finals in Russia four years ago and head into the tournament in fine form with seven wins from nine matches in this calendar year.

Uruguay v South Korea prediction

Uruguay's squad is packed with quality and tournament know-how from back to front and they should prove too good for South Korea, who shipped seven goals in three friendlies against South American opposition in the summer.

Liverpool striker Nunez looked to be getting into the groove just before the Premier League hit the pause button and should get plenty of chances to find the back of the net.

Our prediction: Uruguay 2-0 South Korea (7/1 at bet365)
