Russia take on Korea Republic in the FIFA World Cup 2014 in a Group H match on June 18 at Cuiaba. This is the second match in the group after Belgium beat Algeria 2-1 earlier in the day. Both Russia and Korea Republic are seen as contenders along with Belgium to qualify from Group H into the knock-out stages.
