Australia
Solid, focused and unfazed: that's Australia at the current Asian Cup. That's true, they haven't faced really tough opponents yet but in every game, they did exactly what was required, no more no less.
The wins against India and Syria and a draw with Uzbekistan were just enough to get to the top of their group. In the last 16, Australia thrashed Indonesia 4-0. The Socceroos are in great shape and they might get even better for the upcoming clash!
South Korea
Unlike Australia, South Korea's Asian Cup journey has been a rollercoaster. Jurgen Klinsmann's side started with a confident 3-1 win against Bahrain but then they barely escaped a defeat against Jordan.
Next was a strange 3-3 draw with Malaysia and finally, in the last 16 South Korea were losing 0-1 against Saudi Arabia up until the ninth minute of added time. Luckily for them, they managed to equalise and finally win on penalties.
Australia vs South Korea: Facts to know
In all of South Korea's matches at this Asian Cup, both teams scored.
Australia have secured seven clean sheets in their last eight games.
Both teams are on impressive undefeated streaks: 12 matches for South Korea, and eight games for Australia.
Australia vs South Korea: Head-to-head
This will be the tenth game between the sides. So far, South Korea have had an advantage over Australia: four wins against two victories for the Socceroos.
However, if we take only Asian Cup games into account, it will be an example of perfect balance: three games, one draw and one win for each team.
Australia vs South Korea: Prediction and betting tip
Bookies favour South Korea in this one but it's hard to say that Jurgen Kllinsmann's side are head and shoulders above their opponents.
What we can expect is goals from both sides: Korea's defence isn't solid enough to guarantee a clean sheet and their attack is a threat Australia haven't dealt with yet.
Our betting tip: Both teams to score (Megapari odds – 2.05)
