Match Preview
Buoyed by their 4-0 triumph over Indonesia in the Asian Cup Round of 16, Australia confidently enters this encounter. Martin Boyle, Craig Goodwin, Harry Souttar, and an own goal by Elkan Baggott collectively accounted for their victory in that contest. The Australian national team typically employs a conventional 4-3-3 formation, with Jordan Bos, Martin Boyle, and Mitchell Duke forming the attacking trio. In the midfield, Riley McGree, Keane Baccus, and Jackson Irvine are expected to take the field, with the latter entrusted with orchestrating the team's play in the center of the pitch. With all players fit and available, Australia is eager to extend their winning streak.

Buoyed by their penalty shootout victory over Saudi Arabia in the Asian Cup Round of 16, South Korea steps into this match with an attacking mindset. Their preferred 3-4-3 formation prioritizes offense, utilizing the flanks for swift attacks. Spearheading the assault are Gue-sung Cho, Kang-in Lee, and the talismanic Heung-min Son. In attack mode, they frequently exploit the right flank, seeking to unlock defenses with the overlapping runs of right-back Tae-hwan Kim. Coach Paulo Bento will have the luxury of a fully fit squad at his disposal for this crucial encounter.
