Brazil came to Qatar as one of the pre-tournament favorites to go all the way and they will look to take a step closer to a record-extending sixth World Cup title as they face South Korea at Stadium 974 in Doha.
South Korea squeaked into the last 16 of the tournament after a dramatic 91st-minute winner over Portugal. Conversely, Brazil made light work of qualifying for the knockout stages, but an unexpected defeat to Cameroon in the side’s final group stage match does suggest some vulnerabilities but the return of Neymar is a big boost for Brazil.

Brazil vs South Korea preview
Pre-tournament Brazil were touted as favorites to win the World Cup by pundits and soccer fans alike. And based on the group stages, the Seleção appear to be one of the strongest teams in the tournament. Brazil cruised past Serbia and Switzerland, scoring three and conceding none, but a last-gasp defeat to Cameroon suggested that Brazil aren’t infallible.
This defeat brought to an end Brazil’s nine-game-winning run, but it likely won’t have been of major concern to manager Tite. The squad had been heavily rotated with several key players rested, and Brazil’s advancement to the knockout stage of the tournament was already confirmed before kick-off. This result feels more like an anomaly than an indication that Brazil lacks the required quality to go all the way.
Meanwhile, for South Korea, the road to the World Cup last 16 was considerably more challenging. A goalless stalemate with Uruguay, and a dramatic defeat to Ghana appeared to have ended almost all hopes of advancing further, but a comeback victory over table-toppers Portugal, coupled with other results going in their favor was enough for South Korea to squeeze into the next round.
Premier League star Son Heung-min has always been a talisman figure in the South Korea squad, but the Spurs player has been having a surprisingly quiet tournament. He’s yet to score for his national team at World Cup 2022. On the flipside, this has allowed other members of the squad to shine and it would be unfair to label South Korea as a one-player team. They will come into this game the underdogs, but full of fighting spirit.
The Brazil vs South Korea live stream could be ripe for an upset. The World Cup 2022 has already provided several surprise results, and this game could definitely offer up another. Brazil are expected to progress on paper but soccer is almost never as straightforward in reality — make sure you watch Brazil vs South Korea to see how this one ends.
Brazil vs South Korea team news
He's back! Neymar returns to the Brazil starting XI for the side's first knockout game of the World Cup. The PSG forward was injured in the group stage, but returned to training over the last few days, and would appear to be fit enough to play from the very start today. Tite opted to rotate his squad against Cameroon, but key players including Richarlison and Vinicius Jr. come back into the team for this round of 16 match. There are ten changes overall as Eder Militao is the sole player to have started against Cameroon and South Korea.
For South Korea, despite his mediocre form at the World Cup Son Heung-min retains his starting spot. The player is the first name on the team sheet and boasts the big game experience that will be vital for this tie. Meanwhile, Hwang hee-Chan appears to have recovered from a previous hamstring problem and will look to build upon his winner against Portugal. Kim Young-gwon was a doubt pre match but has also made the starting XI.
Here's how they line up:
Brazil: Alisson, Danilo, Marquinhos, Silva, Militao, Casemiro, Paqueta, Raphinha, Neymar, Vinicius, Richarlison.
South Korea XI: Seung-Gyu, Jin-Su, Kim Min-Jae, Woo-Young, Moon-Hwan, Young-Gwon, Hwang Inbeom, Jae-Sung, Hwang, Cho, Son.
