Brazil vs South Korea Predictions

Brazil 3-0 South Korea

Not only do I expect the stellar defense from Brazil to continue against South Korea, but I would also look for them to open the floodgates on the attack.

After scoring just three goals during the group stage, there is a good chance that the World Cup favorites can match that total against the Taegeuk Warriors.

In addition to the healthy return of Neymar, Brazil has plenty of world-class options on the bench, such as Antony and Rodrygo, to make up for injured players.

If South Korea is to pull an upset, they will need a tremendous effort from superstar Son Heung-min, who has yet to score during the tournament. However, a turnaround will be challenging with Allison in goal for Brazil.
