Korea vs Japan LIVE: In a do-or-die Group B clash, SouthKorea take on Asian rivals Japan. With both teams yet to score in the tournament, their attackers need to find new strategies. A defeat will end in an early exit for either team.

Despite showing promise of late, Korea failed to impress against Belgium. They were routed 0-5 after a disastrous 2nd half. However, the Koreans will take a lot of learnings from that and will try to repeat their first-half performance. Korea did not allow Belgium to open the scoring until 3rd quarter.

As for Japan, they too managed to hold off Germany until 2nd half. But they conceded two goals in the 3rd quarter to hand over the match. They are fast and they have to take advantage of their pace against Korea.

Korea vs Japan Head-to-Head: Korea will start as overwhelming favourites. Japan have only won twice against Korea in 19 encounters. But their last win came 2018. In the last five meetings, Korea have won three while the other two have ended in draws.

Players to Watch out for in Korea vs Japan:

  • Shota Yamada (Japan)
  • Koji Yamasaki (Japan)
  • Kentaro Fukuda (Japan)
  • Manjae Jung (Korea)
  • Namyong Lee (Korea)

Germany vs Belgium LIVE: With a quarterfinal spot at stake, the two Olympic and world champions face off. Belgium are the hot favourites with their golden generation of hockey players winning both World Cup and Olympic gold medals. But one would never write off Germany.

Germany thrashed Japan 3-0 with an inspiring 2nd-half performance. After Grambusch Mats opened the scoring from a penalty corner, Christopher Ruhr and Prinz Thies pumped in two more field goals. But Netherlands did it better than Germany.

Despite goalless 1st and 2nd quarter, Belgium scored 2 goals in Q3 and 3 in the final quarter against Korea. Five Belgian players were on target in the match. They have to repeat that performance once again. Alexander Hendrickx will be their main man who scored a whopping 14 goals in Tokyo Olympics.

Germany vs Belgium Head-to-Head: The two European powerhouses are difficult to separate. Belgium hold a slender advantage having win 15 matches in 34 encounters. Germany have won 13 while the other 6 have ended in draws. The last time, the two met in the FIH Pro League, Belgium won 1-0.
