South Korea line up in a 4-3-3, Czechia in a 4-1-4-1. Neither side holds a clear edge, so transitions and game management could be the difference. The midfield — Jae-sung Lee and Kang-in Lee against Tomáš Souček and Alexandr Sojka — is where the game is likely won. Set pieces and the opening goal often tilt tight group games like this.
