The Indian hockey team will be hoping for a win against Asian rivals South Korea in the London Olympics today, following three straight defeats which have pushed them out of medal contention.

The eight-time Olympic champions, who are making a comeback to the Games after missing Beijing in 2008, are placed at the bottom of Group B after losses to the Netherlands, New Zealand and Germany, and will only be playing in the classification matches irrespective of the result in their last two matches against the Koreans and Belgium.
