After South Korea advanced to the semifinals by winning two consecutive group league matches at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, overseas betting agencies have sharply upgraded the country’s probability of championship.

Sport betting site Betway lists South Korea’s championship dividend rate as 9, the same as England, meaning that a winning better will win nine times the amount of money betted. South Korea has the third highest championship probability on Betway after Uruguay with 4.5 and France with 5.5. The lower the dividend rate is, the more probable a team will win.

On another betting site, BetVictor, ranks South Korea at the third highest championship probability of 8, together with England, after France with 4.5 and Uruguay with 6.

On Sky Bet, France shows the highest championship probability with a dividend rate of 4.5, followed by Uruguay with 5, England with 9 and South Korea with 10. Online betting sites generally place South Korea at the third to fifth highest ranking in championship probability. Before the opening of the FIFA U-20 World Cup, they ranked the country at the eighth to 12th spot in the probability.
