Sweden: The Scandavians overcame Italy in a play-off to be part of this summer's World Cup, their first in 12 years and will be looking to show how they will fare in the country's first major tournament without tallysman Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The country's most promising talent is Emil Forsberg, the RB Leipzig attacking midfielder who had a disappointing league campaign last year but posesses real attacking quality.
This game will be made even more intriguing by the so-called spying scandal that saw a Swedish scout caught watching a South Korean training session, for which Janne Anderson has apologised.
South Korea: Suffering from a run of just one win in their last six friendly matches, the team will be hoping to start well in a group from which they may have a good chance of progressing.
Their main threat is threat is obviously Tottenham winger Son Heung-min, who has become a favourite among Spurs fans for his pace and impressive finishing abilities. However, defender Jang Hyun-soo believes his team will pose a threat from set-pieces.
Swedish skipper Andreas Granqvist on his side's attacking options:
“We have strikers who are quite capable of scoring, we have others who are very important to our attacking game and I hope we have kept all of that for tomorrow and we score lots of goals,”
Son Heung-min on his responsability in the team:
"I feel great when people say good things about me but what's important is that I have to show it on the pitch,
"I know lots of people's expectations are on me, so I also feel a responsibility."
