The tactical read
South Korea typically set up in a settled shape and make their first change around minute 55 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 3 matches, the same shape held up in 0 of them. The quickest hook came at 46' away at South Africa; the longest wait stretched to 62' at home to Czechia.
Results have gone against them lately (1-0-2 from the last 3) - under pressure, managers often get more reactive with team news and substitutions than their season-long averages suggest.
