Iraq and South Korea will meet again in the Friendlies Friendly Match at the New York University Stadium Stadium, Abu Dhabi Saturday, January 06, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
This match will be an important test for South Korea and Iraq ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup. South Korea will enter this match with a complete squad that played in Europe. On the other hand, Iraq, led by Spain’s Jesus Casas, will be without midfielder Attwan due to injury.
Under the tutelage of German football legend Jurgen Klinsmann, South Korea also has several players playing in Europe, including Son Heung Min of Tottenham, Kim Min Jae of Bayern Munich, Lee Kang In of Paris Saint-Germain, and Hwang Hee Chan of Wolverhampton. Son Heung Min, in particular, has been the soul of the Tottenham team in recent seasons.
Iraq also has 20 players playing abroad, mostly in Europe. However, the level of clubs where the Iraqi players play is not comparable to the South Korean stars, who meanwhile play in the top 5 major European leagues.
With a high-quality squad and led by Klinsmann, South Korea is considered one of the strong candidates to win the 2023 Asian Cup. They have shown impressive performance by winning in their last 5 matches.
However, Iraq should not be taken lightly. They are considered a team that can make a surprise in the championship race in the upcoming Asian tournament. This match will be a good opportunity for them to test their skills against one of the tournament favorites.
South Korea is favored to win this friendly match in early January 2024. Victory will provide a big moral boost ahead of the 2023 Asian Cup. In the last 5 matches, South Korea has scored 19 goals, without conceding. Finally, the Taeguk Warriors team won 0-3 over the Chinese national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the Asian zone.
