The five-time World Cup winners, have Neymar available for selection once again. The PSG forward picked up an ankle injury in their opening group game – 2-0 victory over Serbia.It looked as though Brazil were going to be the only side to claim maximum points in the group stage, before fielding a much-changed side against Cameroon. With qualification already confirmed, it made sense to rest those players but even with the depth of the Brazil squad I think everyone thought they’d get the job done. That wasn’t the case, an injury time winner for Cameroon, sealed a famous win for the African side.It was Brazil’s first loss of 2022 and will need to put that at the back of their minds as they face South Korea. Brazil will take great pleasure in knowing they beat today’s opposition 5-1 in a friendly back in June.South Korea’s famous comeback win over Portugal in the final group stage game was enough to secure qualification to the knockouts on goals scored alone!They haven’t shown much quality in the two previous games, but their work rate and desire has seen them progress through.Heung Min-Son picked up his first goal contribution of the tournament, assisting the winner against Portugal. The Tottenham man will need to be in club form if South Korea were to stand any chance of progressing into the last 8.Brazil’s quality all over the pitch will prove to be too much for South Korea. Although, if they become complacent, it could be a much tighter game. I expect to see Brazil score a few goals in this one, especially with the return of Neymar.Bet Prediction: Brazil Win
