Brazil vs. South Korea at FIFA World Cup 2022: Match predictions, preview, Head to Head and lineups

South Korea needed a late victory over Portugal to secure a spot in the round of 16.As they prepare for the significant match on Monday, the two sides have already met on the World Cup stage. We shouldn't anticipate a full-throttle duel in the last 16 meeting given that the teams have never drawn in seven friendly matches. These two sides recently played each other in a friendly, with Brazil crushing South Korea 5-1.

In the shape of Richarlison, Neymar, Philippe Coutinho, and Gabriel Jesus, four different goal scorers scored on the day. South Korea's lone goal that day came from Hwang Ui-Jo as the 2002 semifinalists try to beat Brazil without losing for the sixth time in a row.In the overall 7 competition matches, Brazil had won 6 and South Korea 1.

Brazil

Richarlison, who also scored the first goal of the tournament thus far, gave Brazil a strong start to their World Cup campaign with a pair of goals. The Samba lads' performance was established by their 2-0 victory over Serbia, but they still had to contend with Switzerland, who lost 1-0 when Casemiro scored the game's lone goal. Tite decided to rest his starting lineup against Cameroon because they had already qualified, and they ended up losing 1-0.

South Korea

Until Son Heung Min produced a darting move in the 91st minute to set up Hwang Hee-chan for the game-winning goal, South Korea was staring defeat in the face.
