On October 15, 2024, at 19:00, South Korea will face off against Iraq. South Korea won 2-0 against Jordan in their last match, and are currently at the top of the group table with 7 points after an unbeaten run of 2 wins and 1 draw in their three group matches. South Korea's offense has been getting stronger and stronger, and the stability of their defense has been commendable.
Iraq won 1-0 against Palestine at home in their last match, also undefeated with 2 wins and 1 draw, and also accumulated 7 points, ranking second in the group. However, the efficiency of Iraq's forward line needs to be further improved, but their defense has not conceded a single goal, so their defensive strength deserves recognition.
In the many meetings between the two sides in the past, the South Korean team clearly has the advantage. The South Korean team is not a complete lineup, but in terms of overall strength, it is not something that other opponents can easily challenge, and its performance in both offense and defense is getting stronger. The Iraqi team has also performed well in the first three matches, but has yet to meet a real test.
This time, the Iraqi team welcomes the strongest competitor in the same group, and it will be very difficult to get points on the road.
