In the absence of Heung-min Son, Woo-yeong Jeong looks like the Korean hope to lead his team to victory. The 22-year-old right winger has great speed and can win one-on-one duels. He currently plays for SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga. The Korean made his international debut in 2021 and has scored one goal since then.

Mohamad Haidar is the captain, the figurehead and the great reference of the Lebanese national team. This 32-year-old midfielder is an emblem in his country and thanks to the years of career he has dedicated to his national team, he has earned the respect of all. He made his debut with the Lebanon National Team in 2011 and has since scored four goals in 67 games played.

 

In total, the two teams have met 13 times in the Asian qualifiers for the World Cup, with South Korea winning on nine occasions, drawing on three others and Lebanon winning only once.

South Korea is in second place in the standings in group A of the Asian qualifiers for Qatar 2022. The Korean team has 14 points, two points behind first-placed Iran. For South Korea, it is of vital importance to beat Lebanon if they want to top the group and claim the first place. Holding a direct place in the World Cup is their main goal.

Lebanon is currently in an unfavorable position to fulfill its aspirations of reaching the next FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar in 2022. In fourth place and with only five points to their credit, the Lebanese team has no chance of reaching the orbital event. Nevertheless, they have the chance to do well against South Korea and beat them at home.

The Saida International Stadium is an iconic sports venue in Lebanon. It is located in the city of Sidon and is the home of the Lebanese National Team. It was built in 2000 and has a maximum capacity of 22,600 spectators.
