South Korea vs Malaysia (KOR vs MAL) Match Preview

KOR vs MAL Match Preview: The AFC Asia Cup match between South Korea vs Malaysia will be played on Thursday, 25 January 2024 at 05:00 PM IST.

South Korea won the first two editions of the competition in 1956 and 1960, but have not been able to record a third triumph. They began their 2023 campaign with a 3-1 win over Bahrain, with Lee Kang-in bagging a brace. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Jordan on Saturday.

Son Heung-min opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the ninth minute but an own-goal helped Jordan equalize in the first half. Yazan Al-Naimats injury-time goal in the first half helped Jordan on their way to their first-ever win over the Taegeuk Warriors but Yazan Al-Arabs late own goal denied them the three points from the match.

As things stand, Jordan are at the top of the Group E table with four points, the same as the 1956 winners. A win here can help South Korea finish as the table toppers.

KOR vs MAL Dream11 Prediction

• South Korea looks in good form in recent matches, They are the favourites to win the match
• The Taegeuk Warriors are unbeaten in their last 10 games across all competitions, recording seven wins. They have scored five goals in two games in the 2023 Asian Cup but have been far from convincing in these games.
• Jürgen Klinsmann will have to do without veteran goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu, who was injured before the match against Jordan while Kim Jin-su is yet to play a match with a leg injury. Lee Ki-je picked up a knock against Jordan and is a doubt for this match.
• Malayan Tiger have just one win in their last 11 games at the Asian Cup. They have lost their last five games in the competitions, failing to score in the last four games in that period. They have suffered four consecutive losses against the Taegeuk Warriors and might struggle here. South Korea 2-1 Malaysia
