The International Friendly match between South Korea and Tunisia will take place at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Friday at 4:30 pm IST.
South Korea is set to welcome Tunisia for a friendly match this Friday with the aim of stretching their current unbeaten run to four games. On the other hand, Tunisia will visit Seoul World Cup Stadium, hoping to build more momentum as they prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament scheduled for early next year.
Jurgen Klinsmann, South Korea’s new head coach since February, faces the challenge of developing a squad with several world-class players. They’ve managed only one win in six games, defeating Saudi Arabia during September. Despite recent draws against El Salvador and Wales, progress is evident. However, their lack of goals is concerning, having scored just five times in Klinsmann’s tenure. Klinsmann is gearing up for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers but views matches against Tunisia and Vietnam as additional chances to assess his team.
Tunisia is using their trip to Asia as part of their preparations for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, having secured their spot in the finals with a 3-0 win against Botswana, narrowly edging out Equatorial Guinea on goal difference. Despite a prior loss to their group rivals, Tunisia aims to build on their notable victory over eventual World Cup finalists France. With two upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Sao Tome e Principe and Malawi in November, Jalel Kadri’s team may use the matches against South Korea and Japan to evaluate various squad options.
South Korea probable starting lineup: Kim, Seol, Kim, Jung, Lee, Hwang, Park, Lee, Son, Hwang, Cho
Tunisia probable starting lineup: Dahmen, Valery, Talbi, Meriah, Abdi, Ben Slimane, Skhiri, Hannibal, Layouni, Jouini, Msakni
