Brazil vs South Korea Prediction on December 5, 2022

Match info

The pair that’ll close Day 3 of the competition in the Round of 16 of the men’s football 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, is consisted of the teams of Brazil and Korea. This encounter is to set off on Monday, December 5, at 10 p.m. local & Moscow time at Stadium 974 in Doha.

Meeting statistics

One of the most intriguing pairings in the Round of 16 is Brazil vs. South Korea. Not because it was dramatic or exciting, but rather because few people were expecting to witness it. The majority of football aficionados were preparing to watch a South American derby between Brazil and Uruguay, who remained in contention until Hee-Chan Hwang’s goal in the 91st minute of Korea’s match against Portugal caused Uruguayan tears (Luis Suárez’s tears, particularly). And now we have Korea, a group that plays fair and decent football, taking against the tournament’s leading challenger.

The current form of Brazil

In the group stage, Brazil (the major favorite to win the tournament according to odds of Internet sports bookies with deposit bonuses) had two victories and one defeat, but that one came in the final match against Cameroon by a score of 0-1, hence Tite and his team were unaffected.

Prior to that, Brazil played colorful yet intelligent football as they defeated Serbia and Switzerland, respectively, by scores of 2-0 and 1-0. They typically spend the first 45 minutes scouting the opposition before moving on to exploit his weak points and scoring. Before a setback against Africans, they had won nine straight games and were undefeated, scoring twice or more in a number of those contests. They typically put four or more balls in the net.

The most crucial factor for the Brazilians, who were concerned about Neymar’s condition going into this game, is that he’ll be prepared. Everybody else is also prepared to play.

The current form of Korea

With a goal in stoppage time to give his team a 2-1 victory, South Korea managed to go to the round of 16. As we said, Hwang scored the goal for his team. Korea had four points after earning these three, equal to Uruguay’s four. Both sides had a neutral goal differential, although the Koreans, with four goals, had more goals scored than Uruguay. For a short while, Uruguay attempted to score again, but Ghana was determined to exact retribution for 2010, and they succeeded. After Uruguay defeated them in the quarter-finals, many people believe that the Portuguese team exacted retribution for losing to them at the previous World Cup.

Korea plays fast-paced, exciting, and extremely aggressive football while also putting up a strong defense. They frequently commit potentially fatal errors in the middle of the field, but this is just the way this unit prefers to play. We anticipate that the entire Korean team will be prepared to play on Monday because they have no issues with suspended or injured players.

Head-to-head encounters

Brazil and Korea faced off in June of this year, and the ‘Seleção’ thrashed the rival 5-1, with goals from Neymar (who scored twice), Richarlison, Coutinho, and Jesus; 2019 saw one more friendly match between Brazil and Korea, which the South Americans won 3-0.

Match analytics

Given the strength of Brazil and the disparity in quality between both sides, we don’t need to say much about the final outcome. The most recent match between these teams speaks for itself. Brazil will give this game their whole attention, and we anticipate them to be fairly confident and defeat their opponents while covering a certain goal spread.

Our recommendation: Brazil to win & total goals over 2.5 at 1.96 odds on Pinnacle.
