Brazil vs South Korea Betting Lines


Brazil: Well-rested

The Selecao bottled their perfect start to the World Cup campaign against Cameroon. Still, they progressed to the knockout round as group winners, thanks to the superior goal difference with Switzerland.

Losing Neymar with injury did affect their performance in the final two group games however they continued to dominate possession. Finishing remains a major worry for Tite’s men as they netted just thrice while creating as many as 54 chances from those three games.

Brazil have the most aggressive approach of all teams in terms of high pressure that attack the rivals near their box, wearing them down while looking for a gap in their defense. Tite made nine changes to his starting lineup for the Cameroon defeat, meaning Thiago Silva, Casemiro, Richarlison, and Alisson Becker are all set to return for this game.

The focus will be on Neymar as he looks to shake off an ankle injury in time for knockouts, which was the initial time frame given for his recovery. Tite should not force him because Neymar will be very important later in the tournament. Brazil are the most exciting team to watch and we will continue to include them in our soccer picks and parlays.

South Korea: Big Underdogs

Few have expected South Korea to make it this far in the competition, especially after the defeat to Ghana. Starting the final group game with one point, the Taegeuk Warriors joined Japan and Australia in the underdogs club with a brilliant 2-1 win over tournament favorites Portugal. Let’s be honest, Portugal rested eight starters against South Korea and that’s one of the main reasons for this upset.

Going back 20 years, they achieved their best and finished fourth in this competition when they were joint hosts with Japan. While there is no doubt that the Koreans have a history of troubling top teams in the competition, it remains to see if they can pull off another upset and beat the main contenders.

They lost 5-1 to Brazil back in June in a friendly match, so they know exactly how tough this encounter will be. However, they showed real spirit in their final-day fightback so they could make life difficult for Brazil too. This Cinderella story should end here so if you’re betting online you should fade them.

Brazil vs South Korea Picks & Prediction

  • Worth Betting the Moneyline?

The Selecao enter this clash as heavy favorites being priced at -385 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds while South Korea are priced at +1000. Brazil have been impressive in the final third in each of their three group games and their winning margin could have been wide if not for some brilliant saves from the opposition goalkeepers. After resting all their star players, Tite will definitely start his strongest squad and Brazil should be able to destroy South Korea. Still, there’s no reason to back them on the moneyline so let’s focus on other markets.

  • Worth Betting ATS?

The difference in quality between the two teams is huge. If we leave out the 1-0 defeat to Cameroon, Brazil have nine wins in a row, keeping a clean sheet in seven of them. In seven contests during this stretch, the Selecao netted at least twice, this is proof of their magnificent form. They should easily cover the -1½ spread at -135.

  • Worth Betting the Totals?

The goal line is set at 2½ with the over being priced at -135. Brazil should have enough to cover this on their own and expose South Korea’s defensive issues. With that said, we are backing the over with two units.

SCORE PREDICTION: Brazil 3, South Korea 0
