Iran have won each of the last four meetings with South Korea and even as they make the trip to Seoul where they will be hosted by Korea in a Group A World Cup qualifier on Thursday 31st August they will be confident of extending their seven – point gap at the top of the group. Iran won 1 – 0 in the first leg clash in Tehran and will be seeking a repeat of the feat but facing a South Korea side that has been in fine form at home will be among their top concerns. Korea have two losses, two wins and a draw in their last five matches but have won each of their last five matches at home, scoring 11 and conceding five. In fact, they have won their each of their last 10 home matches and are unbeaten in the last 14 matches at home. They also head to the clash on a run of eight straight wins at home in World Cup qualifiers. Iran on the other hand head to the game on the back of four straight wins and a loss in their last five matches. They are 12 matches unbeaten when playing away from home and in the last five, they have managed three wins and two draws, scoring four and conceding one. They are on a 10 – match unbeaten run in World Cup qualifiers. Head to head, the two nations have met 14 times and Iran have managed eight wins while South Korea have won just three. Each of the teams’ last 13 matches have produced less than 2.5 goals.
