Ghana know how important this game against South Korea is if they are to keep any hope of qualifying for the knockout stage at the Qatar World Cup.
This is arguably their easiest game on paper in Group H and they need to bag all 3 points to avoid an early exit.
The Black Stars are the only team in the group without a point after losing 3-2 to Portugal in their opening fixture, while South Korea played out to a barren draw against Uruguay.
By avoiding defeat in their opening game, the Tigers of Asia come into their clash with Ghana having only lost one of their last 10 in all competitions.
Though South Korea failed to post a shot on target for the second time in four World Cup games during the Uruguay stalemate.
Ghana have scored in 6 consecutive World Cup games and need this streak to continue because defeat here will knock them out of the tournament.
