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: South Korea vs. Portugal odds, picks and predictions

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

In a Group H stage match, South Korea (0 win, 1 losses, 1 draw) and Portugal (2-0-0) meet Friday at Education City Stadium at 10 a.m. ET (FOX/Telemundo). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the South Korea vs. Portugal odds, and make our best World Cup bets, picks and predictions.

South Korea still has a chance for advancement to the Round of 16, but it needs to win Friday and an Uruguay win or draw vs. Ghana. Then, it all depends upon goal differential. F Cho Gue-Sung is the unsung hero for the Koreans, posting a pair of goals through 2 matches.

Portugal picked up a 3-2 win over Ghana in its opener, before posting a 2-0 victory against Uruguay Monday. As such, Portugal is through to the Round of 16, so that might open the door for South Korea to grab a much-needed 3 points.

M Bruno Fernandes has been a one-man wrecking crew, going for 2 goals and 4 points through 2 matches. He is a huge part of Portugal’s success, and he could be subbed out early to preserve him for the knockout stages as this match is essentially meaningless for Portugal.

Prediction

South Korea 1, Portugal 0

Moneyline (ML)

SOUTH KOREA (+340) is in a similar spot as Tunisia was against France Wednesday. The Eagles won 1-0 against Les Bleus, a team that had already clinched a spot in the Round of 16, and was rather disinterested in a meaningless match.

It’s a good spot to be in for the Taegeuk Warriors, as they need to win to stay alive in this tournament. South Korea would likely be quite overmatched if Portugal was also playing for something, but will instead get an unmotivated Portuguese side.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 2.5 (-110) is the play here. Portugal won’t be pushing the tempo, although South Korea will be trying its hardest to find the back of the net. However, so far it’s been Gue-Sung scoring all of the goals, and no other secondary or tertiary options to help him out. Look for that to continue.
