Brazil is the favorite to win this division, and it will be a test to find a way to break through in the midst of all the pre-game uncertainty.
This game can be expected to South Korea will take a defensive counterattack mode to start the game, the front line to stay Son, Cao Guicheng hold prevent Brazilian defense over-pressing, the rest of the defense will be contracted in anticipation of dragging the game to the PKs to determine the winner. In the last game against Portugal, Son rely on individual ability to create a ball can not be said to be a chance to Hwang Hee Chan single knife scored, this game Brazilian defense is bound to take the way to limit the play of Son Son, so how the other players will be able to receive will be the key to the South Koreans can find the victory.
Brazil's main defense in the first two matches of the qualifiers was amazing, holding Switzerland and Serbia to 0 shots on goal, and then resting in the third match to preserve their strength, making it a very tough challenge for South Korea to face a physical Brazilian defense. From Brazil's point of view, it shouldn't be difficult to get through this game, but Brazil has many injuries to their main striker line that lead to poor scoring efficiency. Against Serbia, they won by two goals thanks to Richarlison's inverted hooks and fumbles in front of the goal, while against Switzerland, it was Casemiro's direct shot on goal, which wasn't a scoring opportunity through coordination, but rather a breakthrough through the players' own abilities. It's all about the players' own ability to break through, so how to turn the advantage of the field into goals will be a big test for Brazilian coach Tite.
In addition, Brazil has too many injured players, Gabriel Jesus and Alex Telles have already withdrawn from this year's World Cup. Whether Neymar and Danilo, who were injured in the first match, can return in this match and find their form to cope with the next matches will be another scheduling decision for Brazilian coach Tite.
