South Korea vs Portugal Team Preview
South Korea:
The Tigers of Asia’s chances of making it to the Final 16 are very slim. They need to topple the European giants to stand any chance of qualifying in the knockout stage of the tournament. The Tigers of Asia need to beat Portugal, whereas Uruguay has to beat Ghana. If these scenarios happen, South Korea will make it to the Round of 16. The last time Son’s team made it to the knockout stage of the tournament was in 2010.
Portugal:
Portugal has saved their place in the Round of 16. Now, C. Ronaldo and co. will look to secure the top spot in Group H when they take on South Korea in their last group-stage match in the 2022 Football World Cup.
