South Korea are fighting to keep their World Cup campaign alive when they face Portugal on December 2.
After holding Uruguay to a 0-0 draw in their opening game, South Korea fell to a costly 3-2 loss to Ghana last time out that leaves them needing to beat Portugal to progress.
Thankfully for the Koreans, Portugal have already booked their place in the knockout stages having won their first two games so may take the chance to rest some of their stars.
Either way, South Korea will have to throw everything at this game if they are to remain alive in Qatar.

Should Portugal tinker with their team, South Korea are in with a real chance of snatching a result in this match.
Bento's team will need to be careful of net getting punished on the break, however, with goals at either end looking likely.
