Korea Republic and Vietnam will square off in an international friendly on Tuesday.
The Koreans are coming into the game on the back of a comfortable 4-0 victory over Tunisia in another friendly last week. All four goals came after the break, with Lee Kang-in scoring a two-minute brace, while Hwang Ui-Jo stepped off the bench to complete the rout in injury time.
Vietnam, meanwhile, fell to a 2-0 defeat against Uzbekistan in a friendly. Oston Urunov and Khusniddin Alikulov scored in either half to guide their side to victory.
The Golden Star Warriors will use Tuesday's friendly to finalize preparations for the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. They are scheduled to take on the Philippines and Iraq in November. South Korea, meanwhile, will take on China in the World Cup qualifiers next month.
