2022 World Cup: Brazil vs. South Korea odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Brazil vs. South Korea odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Brazil and South Korea meet Monday in the Round of 16 at Stadium 974. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Brazil vs. South Korea odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Brazil won Group G, but lost as a -260 favorite 1-0 vs. Cameroon Friday in its final group stage match. Despite losing, Brazil dominated Cameroon in shots (21-7) and shots on target (7-3).

Paris Saint-Germaine striker Neymar (ankle) has reportedly been receiving cryotherapy in hopes of getting himself fit for Monday.

Brazil, the No. 1 team in FIFA’s world rankings, is the favorite to win the World Cup at +210.

South Korea qualified with 4 points out of Group H and eliminated Uruguay with its 2-1 win vs. Portugal Friday. F Hwang Hee-chan scored the stoppage-time winner as South Korea cashed as a +340 underdog.

South Korea, FIFA’s No. 28 team, is tied with Poland and Australia for the worst odds to win outright at +20000 ($100 to win $20,000).

Prediction

Brazil 1, South Korea 0

Moneyline (ML)

Brazil (-350) should cash, but the price is too high considering the squad’s play as of late. While Brazil did not need to win vs. Cameroon, it has not looked like a team that is capable of winning by margin in its last 2 games. After an impressive 2-0 win vs. Serbia in its World Cup opener, Brazil has scored just 1 goal over its last 2 matches.

BET SOUTH KOREA +2 (-106).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is 3-0 in Brazil’s games this tournament and I expect this trend to continue Monday as manager Tite’s squad continues to be underwhelming on offense. South Korea should come out playing very conservatively vs. this year’s favorites and, in an effort to avoid mistakes, help the Under stay undefeated in Brazil’s 2022 World Cup matches.

BET UNDER 2.5 (-105).

2022 World Cup: Brazil vs. Switzerland odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Brazil vs. Switzerland odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In a Group G group stage match, Brazil (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) and Switzerland (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) meet Monday at Stadium 974 in Doha at 11 a.m. ET (FOX/Telemundo). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Brazil vs. Switzerland odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Brazil opened the 2022 World Cup with a 2-0 victory over Serbia. Richarlison netted 2 goals at 61′ and 72′ in that victory, and he also reportedly netted 4 million new followers on Instagram as a result.

Brazil outshot Serbia 21-5 in the opener, while posting a 9-0 advantage in shots on target. It also had a 59.0%-to-41.0% possession advantage.

Switzerland had a tougher time with its opponent, Cameroon, in the opener. The African team had several better chances in the 1st half, but it was unable to convert. Breel Embolo had no problem for Switzerland, hitting the eventual winner at 48′, as Rossocrociati scored the 1-0 victory.

It was a very even match with Cameroon, as Switzerland outshot its opponent just 7-6, while it was even on shots on target at 3-3. Cameroon actually out-possessed Switzerland 51%-to-49%.

Prediction

Brazil 2, Switzerland 0

Moneyline (ML)

It might be tempting to consider Switzerland +600 for a chance to multiply your initial wager by 6 times. They are No. 15 in the FIFA worls rankings.

However, the Swiss side should feel fortunate to have picked up a win, and not a draw, or even a loss, in the opener against Cameron.

No. 1-ranked Brazil (-205) might have the deepest team in this World Cup, and Seleção posted an impressive 2-0 win over Serbia in the opener. There is some concern here, as Neymar is nursing an ankle injury, and uncertain to play. But Richarlison proved he is up to the task of starring for Canarinho.

Playing Brazil on the 3-way line is expensive, costing more than 2 times your potential return. Take BRAZIL -1 (+130) at plus-money as a much better option.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 2.5 (-105) is worth a look here. Both of these clubs hit the Under 2.5 goals in their opening matches, and Brazil should be able to toss a blanket on a Switzerland side which was unable to generate much offense against Cameroon.

2022 World Cup: Brazil vs. Serbia odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Brazil vs. Serbia odds and lines, with World Cup soccer expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In a Group G group stage opener for both sides, Brazil and Serbia meet Thursday at Lusail Iconic Stadium at 2 p.m. ET (FOX/Telemundo). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Brazil vs. Serbia odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

Brazil rolled up 40 goals during CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying across 17 games, or 2.35 goals per game. In addition, Brazil pounded Tunisia 5-1 in a friendly on Sept. 27 after it whipped Ghana 3-0 in another friendly against a World Cup team on Sept. 23.

In a friendly on Nov. 18, Serbia won 5-1 against Bahrain, a fellow Persian state neighbor of Qatar. The Serbs enter on a 5-0-1 run in the last 6 games across all competitions. Serbia conceded just 9 goals in 8 UEFA World Cup qualifiers, including a 2-1 win over Portugal on Nov. 14, 2021.

Brazil vs. Serbia odds

Provided by Tipico Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Wednesday at 12:44 a.m. ET.

  • Moneyline: Brazil -200 (bet $200 to win $100) | Serbia +550 (bet $100 to win $550) | Draw +350

Prediction

Brazil 2, Serbia 1

Moneyline (ML)

Brazil (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s a little expensive against a defensive-mind club like Serbia (+550).

It’s unlikely Seleção will suffer the same fate as fellow South American side Argentina in its opening game (a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia), but there isn’t a lot of value betting Canarinho straight up. Instead, look to the total.

PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 2.5 (-130) is a good bet in this Group G opener.

Brazil is a high-octane offense with plenty of star power, from Neymar to Rapinha to Richarlison.

There is a little concern, as Serbia’s Aleksandar Mitrovic is nursing an ankle injury, and expected to miss its opening fixture. If he is able to miraculously play, it would give the Eagles a huge boost, as Mitrovic would pair with Dusan Vlahovic for a nice 1-2 punch.
