Bet9ja odds and betting tips for Brazil vs South Korea

Tite’s side lost their last group game to Cameroon while using their second-string players. For this fixture against the Koreans, they are expected to field their best players, although Neymar’s availability remains in doubt. However, Alex Sandro is likely to miss out on this one as Brazil look to march to their sixth title on the world’s biggest stage.

It was a rollercoaster ride for South Korea during the group stage, as they only made it into this round via goals scored after being tied on points and goal difference with Uruguay. Despite being the underdogs, South Korea would fancy their chances against Brazil, as we have seen several giant-killings already in this tournament.

Brazil are favorites to win the World Cup, but it has not been easy for the Selecao to break down teams so far. The "favorite" tag means teams will naturally sit back and keep a tight shape against them. In their three games so far, they have been level at halftime with no goals scored and have gone on to win two of those games. With their first XI expected to be back for this fixture, Brazil are favorites to win, but we expected a first-half draw as well.

Brazil’s three games at the 2022 World Cup have seen the score at 0-0 by halftime, and we expect this trend to continue against South Korea. The Koreans have been level at halftime in two of their three games so far, with one of those being a goalless first half.

Against Ghana, South Korea recorded their highest number of fouls at the 2022 World Cup (13 fouls). In the other two games, they recorded 9 and 10 fouls, respectively. Against Brazil, we expect them to commit fewer than 15 fouls, as they have shown that they are not a physical team.
