Can South Korea Pull Off a Huge Upset?
Brazil
After beating Switzerland and Serbia in the first two matches, Brazil was already in the next stage and they were pretty certain of finishing first, although in the end they only did so on goal difference. Still, Brazil dominated when they needed to, not allowing a single shot on goal from Switzerland and Serbia combined. Clearly, they are the main favourite to win the title in Qatar and their next obstacle is South Korea, which shouldn't really pose a serious threat.
That being said, Brazil is dealing with many injury problems. Neymar should be ready for the game, but it's not sure yet and the same goes for Danilo. Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles are out for the remainder of the tournament, while Alex Sandro will likely miss the next game as well.
Brazil Predicted Lineup:
Alisson – Militao, Marquinhos, Silva, Danilo – Paqueta, Casemiro, Neymar – Raphinha, Richarlison, Vinicius Jr
South Korea
Despite getting into the final round with just one point after losing to Ghana and drawing with Uruguay, South Korea had a chance to reach the next stage if they could beat Portugal and the other game went their way. And in a truly exciting fashion, South Korea scored a winning goal in the last minutes against Portugal and only had to wait for Uruguay not to score another goal against Ghana. Since that happened, South Korea will get a chance to play against Brazil in Round of 16.
Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae missed the Portugal game with calf discomfort and is still doubtful, while Lee Kang-in and Kim Young-gwon were both subbed off with physical issues, but will likely be ready for this match.
South Korea Predicted Lineup:
Seung-gyu – Moon-hwan, Kyung-won, Young-gwon, Jin-su – In-beom, Woo-young – Hee-chan, Kang-in, Heung-min – Gue-sung
