Brazil v South Korea Prediction – Preview
Brazil
Brazil finished the group stage atop Group G with 6 points. They beat Serbia in their opener 2-0, then went on to see off Switzerland 1-0, but were beaten by Cameroon 1-0 at the conclusion of the group stages. Despite dominating the whole match, The Seleçao couldn’t find the breakthrough. This allowed The Indomitable Lions to pull off a shocker, as Jerome Ngom Mbekeli crossed to Vincent Aboubakar, who headed home in stoppage time for a last-minute win. Brazil manager Tite considered the loss as a wake-up call for the number one-ranked side in the world, who had already qualified for knockouts prior to this game. Could the South Americans get back their bite against the surging Taegeuk Warriors?
South Korea/ Korea Republic
South Korea finished the group stage at second place in Group H. The Taegeuk Warriors were off to a slow start in the competition, opening with a scoreless draw with Uruguay and bowing 2-3 to Ghana before narrowly edging out Portugal 2-1 for a slot in the final 16. Ricardo Horta’s goal on 5 minutes almost spelled trouble for the South Koreans, who were fighting to stay alive in the tournament. Then by a twist of fate, Kim Young-gwon levelled when he pounced on a defence error by Cristiano Ronaldo. And in dramatic fashion, Son Heung-min led a counter-attack in stoppage time, passing to Hwang Hee-chan for the finish. This was a special moment for the side of Portuguese-born Paulo Bento, whose red card from the last match meant he sat in the stands for the victory over his home country. Will the East Asians have enough as they take on one of the world’s best teams next?

Brazil v South Korea Prediction – Final Thoughts
Despite their superiority, Brazil’s recent injuries mean that they will have their hands full against a rejuvenated South Korea. However, the return of Neymar to the lineup could see The Seleçao get back to their winning form. We see the Taegeuk Warriors netting at least once, but overall, their deeper South American opponents look set to dominate. Let’s take a look at the prediction.
