As part of the 1/8 finals of the FIFA World Cup, the Brazilian national team will play with the South Korean national team in Doha. Your attention is invited to the forecast for this match.
Brazil
The Brazilian national team remains the main contender among analysts to win the World Championship trophy. In the first two rounds of the group stage, Tite's team won two dry victories in the class, taking over the national teams of Serbia (2:0) and Switzerland (1:0). In the last round, which did not solve anything for the pentacampeons, they entered the game as a second team, eventually sensationally losing to the Cameroon team (0:1), conceding the only goal in the compensated time of the second half.
South Korea
For the Koreans, the group stage turned out to be much more adventurous. In the first round they played in a boring draw with the national team of Uruguay (0:0). Then, losing by two goals, they were able to even the score, but still lost to the Ghana national team (2:3). In the decisive match, the Tigers showed heroism, snatching a strong–willed victory over the Portuguese national team (2:1), scoring a saving goal in added time - the leader and leader of the team Son scored an accurate shot.
