South Korea are many people’s favourites to win the tournament. With the likes of Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae in their lineup, it’s not hard to see why. However, the Reds have not really been at their best at this AFC Asian Cup. They have been involved in plenty of drama though, including a 2-2 draw with Jordan and a 3-3 draw with Malaysia. In Lee Kang-in they have one of the top scorers in the competition.
Saudi Arabia’s games have not been as high scoring as their opponents, but the Falcons soared comfortably into the Round of 16, winning Group F on seven points. The Reds' attack will provide a far sterner test than they have had so far. In Roberto Mancini, they have a manager who knows all about navigating tournament football but can he get the better of opposite number Jürgen Klinsmann in today's encounter?
Here's how they line up:
Saudi Arabia: Al Kassar; Al Tambkati, Lajami, Al Buhayi; Abdulhamid, N. Al Dawsari, Al Khaibari, Kanno, Al Burayk; S. Al Dawsari, Al Shehri
South Park: Jo Hyeon-woo; Kim Tae-hwan, Kim Min-jae, Kim Young-gwon, Kim Jin-su; Lee Kang-in, Hwang In-beom, Lee Jae-sung; Jeong Woo-yeong, Son Heung-min
