South Korea vs. Ghana: How do both squads compare ahead of World Cup clash?

Sports Mole looks at how the squads of South Korea and Ghana compare ahead of Monday's World Cup clash between the two sides.

South Korea and Ghana go in search of their first victory in Group H of the World Cup when they square off at the Education City Stadium on Monday.

Paulo Bento's men kicked off their quest for a first knockout-stage appearance since 2010 on Wednesday when they played out an uneventful goalless draw with Uruguay.

As for Ghana, they were denied a dream start to their World Cup campaign as they fell to a 3-2 defeat against a star-studded Portugal side in last week's group opener.

Needing a win to get their respective campaigns back on track, Sports Mole takes a look at how the squads of South Korea and Ghana stack up against each other ahead of Monday's contest.
