Brazil vs South Korea: Records, Stats, Goals, Head to Head & everything to know

Brazil will kick-start their knockout duties against South Korea in a round-of-16 encounter of the FIFA World Cup 2022 on Monday night. The South American nation came to Qatar as the favourites to lift the trophy and have held that tag despite suffering a mini blip in their final group game. Tite’s side had conceded late to lose against Cameroon but that setback has not cost them anything big, as Brazil ended Group G as leaders. On the other hand, South Korea booked their knockout ticket in a fairytale fashion but they have a mountain to climb in their last-16 contest.

South Korea started the World Cup with a draw and a defeat, and looked destined to depart Qatar in the group stage. However, a late come-from-behind victory over group leaders Portugal in their final match saw the Asian side clinch a knockout ticket at the expense of Uruguay. On the other hand, Brazil kickstarted their bid to win a record-extending sixth-world title with back-to-back wins. However, they suffered their first defeat in the tournament against Cameroon. Despite the setback, they are expected to get past South Korea on Monday night.
