The match starts at 23:00 GST, and will be played between South Korea and Brazil. Brazil is expected to win the match. Brazil was just humiliated by Cameroon in their last match, therefore the Selecao will not take South Korea lightly.

The second last match of the round of 16 will be played between Morocco and Spain on Tuesday, December 6, 2022.If Morocco is to make its first-ever appearance in the quarterfinals, they must make the most of their recent defensive resilience, and Regragui's attackers should be encouraged by La Roja's defensive shortcomings against Japan. Spain is expected to win the match with a 2-1 victory.

The last match of the round of 16 will be played between Portugal and Switzerland the same day as Morocco and Spain.Portugal rarely struggles to score goals with to their wealth of attacking quality, but maintaining a lead is frequently a different story. The Selecao frequently retreats as a result of Fernando Santos' continuous negativity, which would give a strong Swiss team the chance to assert themselves and buy more time. However, Pepe, Ronaldo, and company should just edge out the competition due to their superior big-game skills. Portugal is expected to win the match with a 2-1 lead.
