Preview - Group C: Myanmar v Korea Republic

Pune: Korea Republic will look to make it two consecutive wins when they play Myanmar in Group C of the AFC Women’s Asian Cup India 2022™ on Monday.

Korea Republic are currently second in the standings, behind Japan on goal difference, while Vietnam and Myanmar are third and fourth respectively.

A win for Korea Republic, if followed by a Japanese victory over Vietnam in the group’s second match on Monday, will mean both the East Asian teams will book their quarter-final spots with a match to spare.
