Korea and Thailand will play for the second time in six days when they clash Tuesday evening at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok.
Previous Match and Current Standings
Korea, ranked 22nd, got held to a 1-1 draw by 101st-ranked Thailand last Thursday at Seoul World Cup Stadium. Captain Son Heung-min scored the match's first goal in the first half, but Thailand equalized in the second half against some sloppy defending by the host.
Korea stayed atop Group C with seven points, followed by Thailand with four points.
Key Players and Strategies
They will look to key veterans that held up their end of the bargain Thursday to once again lead the charge this week.
Son Heung-min was the team's best player in that match, scoring his 45th goal in his 124th international appearance.
Lee Jae-sung contributed on both ends as the energizer for Korea before being subbed out about 30 minutes into the second half.
Lee Kang-in, more of a playmaker than a goal scorer, could get the start this time.
Forward Joo Min-kyu finally played his first international match Thursday at age 33 years and 343 days.
