FIFA World Cup 26™: What to look out for in Korea Republic v Czechia 🇰🇷🇨🇿 | OneFootball

Korea Republic and Czechia get their campaigns underway in a fascinating Group A tussle.

Here's everything you need to look out for in the second match of the FIFA World Cup 26™.

Who is playing today? 👀

Hong Myungbo's Korea Republic kick off their campaign with a game against the European underdogs.

Guadalajara will play host, with the Taegeuk Warriors favourites having breezed through qualification without losing a game.

Son Heung-min is the name on everyone's lips but don't look past Paris Saint-Germain striker Lee Kang-in in Korea's attack.

Czechia meanwhile have an impressive spine including West Ham stalwart Tomáš Souček and will hope to make the most of the momentum they picked up in the UEFA play-offs to get here.

Players to watch 🔥

Patrik Schick will be Czechia's main goal threat and reference point throughout the tournament.

The towering forward shot to fame at EURO 2020, scoring the Goal of the Tournament against Scotland and has been in fine form this season, netting 16 Bundesliga goals for an inconsistent Bayer Leverkusen outfit.

If Czechia are to get out of the group, Schick will need to have packed his scoring boots.

Korea may boast plenty of attacking flair but Kim Min-jae will bolster their backline after a trophy-laden season domestically for Bayern Munich.
