Standing at the goal line, Korea's main goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo is still defending the city; as for the back line, everything is as usual. In accordance with the usual practice of lining up, Coach Hong Myung-bo is likely to continue with his usual 4-guard formation, with Seol Young-woo, Cho Miu, Kim Min-jae and Lee Myung-jae sitting in the back of the defense. Cao Miao and Kim Min Jae will form a solid double center back, while Xue Young Woo and Lee Myung Jae will play their respective roles as left and right wing backs. Kim Min-jae, the much-anticipated former national security defender, will undoubtedly play a solid role in the South Korean defense.
In the midfield area, Hwang In-beom will undoubtedly be the key figure in intercepting and snapping up the South Korean midfield and backfield, while Park Rong-woo is expected to play alongside him to form a sturdy double back combination. In front of them, the talented midfielder Lee Gang-in, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain, is expected to continue to control the tempo of the front field and play the core of the offense, directing the attack of the Korean team, while Lee Jae-seong and Bae Jun-ho will be the powerful attacking assistants beside Lee Gang-in. The trio will work in tandem to deliver the shells to the Korean forwards.
As for the front line, South Korea's striker Oh Se-hoon will continue to play in the Japanese league, while South Korea's "top star" Son Heung-miao may not be able to play due to injury.
To summarize, Korea's starting lineup against Kuwait is predicted as follows: Cho Hyun-woo; Seol Young-woo, Cho Miu, Kim Min-jae, Lee Myung-jae; Hwang In-beom, Park Rong-woo; Lee Jae-seong, Bae Joon-ho, Lee Gang-in; Oh Se-hoon.
