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).
