Match Preview
Uzbekistan has been one of the more surprising teams in these AFC qualifiers, currently fourth in Group A with 12 points. The Middle Eastern side is only behind on goal differential to third-place Syria and is only two points back of South Korea in second.
The White Wolves’ latest result in the competition was a 1-0 loss against China but before that had two consecutive victories. Uzbekistan will have a very tough opponent but will have the home-field advantage and the motivation to get points out of the game.
South Korea is currently second in Group A with 14 points and is coming off a very impressive scoreless draw against first-place Iran. The last time these two teams met, South Korea did get the 2-1 win at home and with a much more talented squad The Reds should pick up the three points from the game.
Some of the more notable players for the Red Devils hail from the English Premier League with Swansea’s Sung-yeung Ki and Tottenham’s Heung-min Son. Both teams need the three points and should give one of the best games in this matchday of the AFC World Cup qualifiers.
