On the other hand, South Korea were beaten by New Zealand 1-0 in their opening match which ensures they need only a win to stay alive in the competition.
Wood’s second half goal was the sole strike which helped the New Zealand team register their first win.
South Korea is last on the table. As a result, they cannot afford any more slip ups if they are to secure a place in the knockouts.
Romania holds the advantage ahead of this clash but South Korea cannot be discounted.
Line-ups
Romania:
Popa, Boboc, Pascanu, Stefan, Ghita, Marin, Ciobanu, Florescu, Sintean, Ganea and Gheorge.
South Korea:
Bum-keun, Sang-min, Jae-woo, Ji-soo, Yoon-sung, Kang-in, Dong-hun, Du-jae, Jin-kyu, Chang-hoon and Dong-jun.
Prediction: Romania 0-1 South Korea
Both sides have got off two extreme starts and will look to do well ahead of the big matches.
South Korea may have lost their last match but are expected to put in a good shift against Romania so as to keep their chances alive.
We foresee them edging the Romania squad as they have their backs to the wall.
