Thailand

Thailand showed great spirit to come away with a hard-fought point against Korea last time out despite being on the back foot for large spells of the contest.

However, Masatada Ishii's men have now gone five games without a win since kicking off their Asian Cup journey with a 2-0 victory over Kyrgyzstan back in January.

Currently boasting four points from three matches so far, the War elephants sit second in Group C but are in no way assured of a top-two finish with China breathing down their necks.

Off the back of defeats in their last two home outings leading up to Tuesday's affair, Tuesday's hosts now go in search of a much-needed win in front of their fans.

South Korea

South Korea saw their 100% record in the World Cup qualifiers come to an end in a 1-1 draw against Thailand at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Thursday.

Hwang Sun-hong's men took the lead three minutes shy of half time through Son Heung-Min before Suphanat Mueanta restored parity just past the hour mark.

Nonetheless, the Taegeuk Warriors remain top of Group C, three points clear of Thailand and China midway through the qualifying campaign.

Up next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who are without a victory in the previous eight editions of this fixture across all competitions.

Having all but secured themselves a place in the next phase of the World Cup qualifiers, South Korea will be confident of picking up another positive result here.

Prediction: Thailand 1-3 South Korea
