Brazil will lock horns with South Korea at Stadium 974, Doha on Monday night, hoping to pick up a positive result and progress into the quarter-finals of the World Cup campaign. Tite’s side will be heading into the match on the back of a surprising 1-0 loss to Cameroon, whereas Paulo Bento’s men recorded a thrilling 2-1 victory over Portugal.

Tite will probably opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation with several tweaks from the last game. Vinicius Jr. might get the nod over Gabriel Martinelli, whereas Neymar Jr. seems likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.
