Australia vs South Korea live
Preview:Australia vs South Korea prediction:
During the opening stage, Australia relied on compact, sharp, and resolute defending. However, in their recent match, they showcased an impressive offensive performance.Scoring four goals against Indonesia, they equaled their total from the group phase. This marked the second-highest goal tally for the Socceroos in an Asian Cup knockout fixture since their dominant 6-0 victory over Uzbekistan in the 2011 semi-finals.Following a groin strain suffered in the round of 16, Gethin Jones underwent scans at the hospital. However, he has received clearance to participate in the quarter-final fixture for Australia. Lewis Miller and Thomas Deng, both dealing with illnesses, are anticipated to recover, and Mitchell Duke, who missed the previous match due to a hamstring injury, made a substitute appearance.For the knockout victory this week, coach Arnold introduced two changes to the starting 11, bringing in Jones and Bruno Fornaroli to replace Nathaniel Atkinson and Kusini Yengi.
The South Korean team will still send out its strongest lineup to play. Son Heung-min and Lee Gang-in's performance has declined under the strict surveillance of opponents. How to maintain the team's offensive firepower, Klinsmann needs to make changes in the personnel combination and offensive tactics. Cho Kyu-sung and Hwang Hee-chan, who performed well in the last game, are expected to return to the starting lineup. However, the defense led by Kim Min-jae and Kim Young-kwon concedes goals in every game. There are hidden dangers in the defense in the middle. When playing against opponents of equal strength, the competition is about who makes fewer mistakes and who is more confident. With greater chance ability, whether the Korean team's general can utilize his strengths and avoid weaknesses may determine the trend of the game.
