Star striker Richarlison is expected to alk back scoring the most points. Top 3 players to watch out for – Richarlison, Vinicius and Son
With goal threats spread throughout the entire field, South Korea may be confident that they can exploit a depleted Brazilian defence. Son and Hwang will undoubtedly be licking their lips after learning about the Selecao’s full-back injury problems. We expect the Selecao’s abundant attacking options to propel the five-time winners into the final eight and put an end to South Korea’s dream despite Brazil’s setback to Cameroon. Tite will now welcome back a multitude of first-team talents and may even have Neymar available from the start.
