The round of 16 of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup will have some close matchups, but today’s game betweenBrazil andSouth Korea at Stadium 974 may not be one of them.

Brazil finished their participation in group G with a loss against Cameroon. That could be shocking for most, although they were already qualified to this round. They beat Serbia and Switzerland, so that was enough to gran them the first place. The Brazilians will have more starting pieces in the team after resting them vs the Cameroonians.
One of the surprises of the tournament was definitely South Korea. They began group H as a long shot to go through it, and that was validated given they got to Matchday 3 without a win. Although they were able to stun Portugal with a goal in the aggregate that put them over Uruguay.
Brazil lineup
Tite did what most coaches tried the days before when their teams were secured in this round. He sat multiple starters against Cameroon, so it’s very reasonable that the Brazilians will have substitutions in their 11. For example, Alisson, Vinicius, Thiago Silva, Casemiro, Richarlison and Marquinhos should all go back in. Given how favorable this match seems maybe Neymar Jr. rests one more game.
Brazillineup: Alisson; Eder Militao, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva, Danilo; Casemiro, Paqueta; Raphinha, Neymar, Vinicius;and Richarlison.
South Korea lineup
After the epic ending of group H they had on Matchday 3 it wouldn’t be illogical if the head coach repeats the lineup. The South Koreans were 1-0 down against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal, so the same 11 players could start again.
South Korea lineup: Kim Seung-gyu; Kim Moon-Hwan, Kwon Kyung-Won, Kim Min-Jae, Kim Jin-Su; Hwang In-Beom, Jung Woo-Young; H. Hwang,Lee Jae-Sung, Son Heung-Min; Cho Gue-Sung.
