The goal difference statistics also does not augur well for both sides should their match end in a stalemate, given the big margin losses suffered against DPR Korea and Korea Republic.
Neither side has been able to get on the scoresheet yet with Philippines’ head coach Nahuel Arrarte and his counterpart Cheng Ya-Hsun hoping to get their attacking formula right on Friday.

DPR Korea will head into the tie only needing a draw to finish top but don’t expect either side to hold back at the Suzhou Taihu Football Centre Pitch 4.

However, for Korea Republic to achieve the result they desire, they will need to keep a lid on tournament-leading goalscorer Yu Jong Hyang, who has six goals and five assists to her name.
The starting lineups will also be interesting as DPR Korea head coach Ji Yun Nam and his Korea Republic counterpart Lee Da-young have largely fielded the same starting line-up in their earlier matches.
