The Desert Foxes have to shake off what Coach Halihodzic called “a psychological block.”
Algeria have some familiar names to Serie A watchers, including Inter’s Saphir Taider, ex-Milan man Djamel Mesbah and Napoli full-back Faouzi Ghoulam.
However, only Mesbah is in the starting XI this evening.
South Korea do boast a point to their name thanks to a 1-1 draw with Russia, but they had been in front there too.
They make no changes to the team that earned that point against Russia in the opening game.
South Korea: Jung Sung-Ryong; Lee Yong, Hong Jeong-Ho, Kim Young-Gwon, Yun Suk-Young; Han Kook-Young, Ki Sung-Yeung; Lee Chung-Yong, Koo Ja-Cheol, Son Heung-Min; Park Chu Young
Algeria: Mbolhi; Mandi, Medjani, Bouguerra, Halliche, Mesbah; Feghouli, Brahimi, Djabou, Bentaleb; Slimani
