No players for North Korea have been cautioned at this tournament.
Player to watch
Portugal
Ricardo Carvalho — The Ivory Coast found out first-hand how hard life can be moving forward while facing this extremely tough and savvy centre back. The 32-year-old Chelsea mainstay has turned the last-ditch miracle tackle into an art form.
North Korea
Hong Yong-Jo — Sitting right behind Jong Tae-Sae in attack, Hong Yong-Jo provides a great second attacking option for the North Koreans because he isn't afraid to test the opposing keeper from any range.

PORTUGAL VS NORTH KOREA PREDICTION
North Korea will play without the burden in this game. If consistency is shown by the North Korean players when playing against Brazil is still awake, and the spirit of never give up no slack. Then the sterility of the Portuguese striker, as seen against the Ivory Coast will become a bad news for Portugal in this match. So be prepared to see Cristiano Ronaldo cry because Portugal vs North Korea match prediction is 0-0 or 0-1 for the victory of North Korea. ^ _ ^
