Bottom of the group South Korea will need to win this game and hope that Sweden lose to Mexico to be in with a chance of qualifying for the next stage of the tournament.
Last week Germany got a goal five minutes into injury time that lead to them beating Sweden 2-1. Germany will be without defender Jérôme Boateng after he received a second yellow card for a challenge on Swedish striker Marcus Berg.
