There will be action in Group H of the 2022 FIFA World Cup on Monday, November 28.

In the two games lined up to be played, Ghana will take on South Korea in a must-win encounter.

The Black Stars kicked off the campaign at this year’s world cup last Thursday in a tough match against their Portuguese counterpart.

At the end of a pulsating encounter, Ghana suffered a 3-2 defeat in a game that was full of drama and excitement.

After that defeat, the Black Stars now need to win their next game to stand any chance of advancing to the next stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

The next opponent, South Korea are feeling confident ahead of the upcoming contest.

The national team of the Asian country in their opening match of Group H locked horns with Uruguay.

Although the team was faced with a tough task, they managed to weather the storm and secured a point after holding the two-time World Champions to a goalless draw.

Inspired by Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min, South Korea are full of confidence and believes a win against Ghana is inevitable.

However, they also know they must be at their best to overcome the four-time Africa Cup of Nations winners.

Probable Ghana starting eleven for Ghana South Korea game:

Lawrence Ati-Zigi (G), Alidu Seidu, Alexander Djiku, Mohammed Salisu, Daniel Amartey, Gideon Mensah, Salis Abdul Samed, Thomas Partey, Mohammed Kudus Osman Bukari, Inaki Williams.

Probable South Korea starting eleven to face Ghana:

Kim Seunggyu; Kim Mooonhwan, Kim Minjae, Kim Younggwon, Kim Jinsu; Jung Wooyoung, Hwang Inbeom, Lee Jaesung; Son Heungmin, Hwang Uijo, Na Sangho.

Match Prediction:

This should be one of the close contest games on the matchday. While both Ghana and South Korea will be going for a win, they will also play with a lot of caution for most parts of the 90 minutes.

Yes, Son Heung-min will cause a lot of trouble for Ghana but the defensive backline of the Black Stars should be able to neutralise him.

With a change in the attack for pacey wingers in the Ghana team, the Black Stars inspired by Mohammed Kudus should secure a win.

South Korea 0-2 Ghana.

Match details.

The encounter between Ghana and South Korea on Monday is the second of four matches scheduled to be played.

The clash will kick off at 1pm at the Education City Stadium.
