This match pits South Korea together with Honduras who nearly qualified for the World Cup before falling to defeat at the hands of Australia in the playoffs. The South Koreans have suffered some dip in form since they secured qualification for the World Cup.<\/p>\n
Would they get back to winning ways here ahead of their next three other warm-up games or would Honduras get revenge over an Asian country?<\/p>\n
The hosts find themselves in one of the toughest World Cup groups that include Germany, Sweden and Mexico.<\/p>\n
They have a chance of making it to the knockout rounds, but they have to pick up some form as they seem to have been on holiday mood for a while now. They secured World cup qualification since September last year with two goalless draws in their last two matches.<\/p>\n
However, they have struggled to defend in their friendlies so far as they have conceded 14 goals in their last six friendlies beginning with a 4-2 loss against Russia and ending in a 3-2 loss to Poland, they know they need to up their game if they want to survive their World Cup group.<\/p>\n
Honduras would be stepping into the field of play for the first time since their 3-1 loss to Australia in the playoffs in November. This match would see them come up against a team competing in the World Cup, but they would be confident that they can stretch the Koreans’ run of games without keeping a clean sheet having conceded in their last six games already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
