South Korea have interesting players in their squad, but Son Heung-min is their superstar. People like Jeong Woo-yeong and Hwang Ui-jo can also cause trouble.

Paraguay, on the other hand, will rely on the performance of Miguel Almiron, who has had a low season in the Premier League.

South Korea to win.
