Brazil vs. South Korea: How do both squads compare ahead of World Cup clash?

Ahead of Monday's World Cup meeting between Brazil and South Korea, Sports Mole looks at how both squads compare, including their most valuable and top-scoring players.

Aiming to secure safe passage into the quarter-final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Brazil and South Korea go head to head at Stadium 974 on Monday.

Tite's men suffered a first defeat of the ongoing World Cup in their final group match and will need to put on an improved display in this one.

Paulo Bento's men, meanwhile, upset the odds against Portugal last time out as they claimed a 2-1 victory to just about book their place in the knockout phase of football's biggest competition.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how the squads of Brazil and South Korea stack up against each other ahead of Monday's matchup.
