On the other hand, Chinese Taipei also beat Russia 4-1 with only their Men's doubles pairing of Lee Jhe-Huei/Lee Yang losing to Valadimir Ivanov/Ivan Sozonov.
There is very little to separate the two teams on paper, however, Korea, with their young doubles teams, will have to battle hard to get past Tai Tzu Ying-led Chinese Taipei. The world number one Women's singles shuttler has been looking unbeatable in the recent past, with five Superseries titles on the trot, and is likely to overpower Korean number one Sung Ji Hyun.
World number two Son Wan Ho is likely to replace Jeon Hyeok Jin, who won his match against Russia on Sunday, in the Men's singles rubber. The 29-year-old will be facing world number six Chou Tien Chen, agaisnt whom he has a 4-1 head-to-head record.
Despite losing to Ivanov/Sozonov, Chinese Taipei's Men's doubles pairing of Huei/Yang is favourites to beat the Korean pairing tomorrow.
For Korea, the onus will be on world number four Jung Kyung Eun, who will be playing with Kim Ha Na, to deliver a win in the Women's doubles rubber, which is crucial to the team's chances tomorrow.
