KOR vs RUS match prediction and preview

South Korea had a poor start to their World Championship campaign and find themselves at the bottom of Group H. Kang Il-Koo's men suffered defeats against Slovenia and Belarus in their previous two group games and will be unable to progress through to the next round of the competition. However, South Korea have held the second-worst defensive record in the competition and will be hoping to end their disappointing campaign on a high, with a potential upset against Russia. 

• Predicted starting line-up for South Korea: L. Hosu, O. Juchan, S. Jeawoo, K. Jinyoung, K. Daehyeon, K. Mingyu, K. Taegwan.
