South Korea have made it to this point of the competition the hard way, forcing extra time in their Round of 16 match against Saudi Arabia and their Quarter Final fixture against the Socceroos, with comebacks required in both games.
Meanwhile, Jordan defeated both Iraq and Tajikistan in regular time, although, a miraculous injury-time double was required to see off the former.
South Korea and Jordan already met in the group stage and that game finished 2-2, though Korea dominated proceedings, generating twice as many scoring opportunities as their opponents.
I’m backing South Korea to win this one in regular time, with Son Heung-Min to score his 4th goal of the tournament and second against Jordan.
Host nation Qatar line up against their bogey side, Iran.
This pair has met six times since 2013, with Iran winning all six fixtures, outscoring Qatar 11-1 across the trip.
Iran’s form leading into this fixture is nothing short of incredible, 18 games without defeat, only two of which were draws (16W).
Qatar has been dealt a favourable draw up until this point and may be caught off guard with the step up in class.
I’m backing Iran to claim the win in regular time, combined with under 3.5 total goals.
