Pre-tournament favourites and the most successful team in the history of the competition with 5 titles, Brazil play their first knockout match of Qatar 2022 early Tuesday morning India time. The current number 1 team in the FIFA rankings will take on a team ranked 27 places below them - South Korea - in their Round of 16 match.
The Brazilians are being tipped by many to win their 6th title in this edition of the World Cup. In the South Koreans though, Tite's team are up against an outfit that beat Portugal and made sure Uruguay couldn't qualify from Group H, keeping the 1930 and 1950 champions out on the goals scored count and making the Round of 16 cut in second place in that group, behind Portugal.
