South Korea Squad and Form Before the Match
- Fifa Ranking: 28th;
- Last five Matches: LDWWD;
Squad Form Description
The Korean National team will take positives from their fine display against the star-studded Uruguayan side which ended in a goalless stalemate. Having been written off by pundits and a cross-section of football fans, Paulo Bento's experience as a former defensive midfielder was reflected in his side's ability to keep the likes of Luis Suarez, Darwin Nunez and inform Real Madrid's Federico Valverde quiet throughout the contest and deny Uruguay an outright victory. Tottenham's Son Heung who passed a late fitness test after suffering a fractured eye socket was aided with a mask to help inspire the Korean side. The Taegeuk Warriors will seek to improve on their last performance and show Ghana the way out of Qatar if they can impose another defeat on the African giants.
Possible Lineup
( 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 ) K. Seung Gyu, Jin Su Kim, K Young-gwon, Min-jae Kim, Kim Moon-hwan, J. Woo-young, H.In-beom, Son Heung-min, Jae-sung Lee, Na Sangho, Ui-jo Hwang.

Squad Form Description
The four times African cup of Nations winner had a night to forget in their first encounter against Cristiano Ronaldo's inspired Portugal side. Ghana fought a hard fight as Osman Bukari's 89th-minute goal reduced the deficit and set up an entertaining and expectant last five minutes plus added time. The Black Stars would feel hard done by the referee's decision to award Portugal a penalty in the 65th minute which was calmly converted by the former Manchester and Juventus Center forward. Avoiding another defeat will be Otto Addo's dressing room sermon before their encounter against South Korea.
Possible lineup
( 5 - 3 - 2 ) L Ati Zigj, R. Baba, M. Salisu, A. Djiku, D. Amartey, Alidu Seidu, M. Kudus, S Abdul Samed, T. Partey, Inaki Williams, Andre Ayew.
