South Korea vs Brazil: Prediction for the Match on October 10, 2025

The Seoul World Cup Stadium is full of life again. In a thrilling international friendly, South Korea, the pride of Asia and multiple-time AFC Asian Cup champions will face Brazil, one of the biggest football teams in the world. After losing to Bolivia by a narrow 1–0 score, Brazil comes to the game hurt and ready to start over and get back into the swing of things. After a spirited 2–2 draw with Mexico, South Korea is ready to see how far they've come against top-notch competition. Both teams have had ups and downs lately, but in Seoul, every player will be trying to impress.

South Korea: Form and Statistics

After winning Group B in the qualifiers, South Korea quickly made it to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They stayed undefeated, beating Jordan, Iraq, Oman, Palestine, and Kuwait along the way. They are still on a roll, and their recent win over the USA and draw against Mexico have only made them more sure of themselves. Even though he hurt his shoulder, Kim Min-jae is back with the team. The Bayern Munich center-back hurt himself during a 5–1 Champions League win over Pafos and couldn't play in the Bundesliga match against Eintracht Frankfurt on the weekend, which they won 3–0. Still, he is healthy enough to play for his country.

South Korea News and Lineup

Captain Son Heung-min is once again in charge of the line. He just had a great run in Los Angeles, scoring eight goals and getting three assists in nine games for LAFC. Now he will make the 13-hour trip to join the Taeguk Warriors. This is his 137th cap, which is a big deal in his long and successful international career. Also, expect to see some new faces. Jens Castrop could make his third appearance, and Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain is expected to start higher up the field. Kim Min-jae will probably be the anchor of the defense, which will give South Korea a mix of experience and new energy when they play on Friday.

🔖 South Korea Expected Lineup 

Seung-gyu; Moon-hwan, Min-jae, Yu-min, Ju-sung; Jae-sung, Jin-gyu; Kang-in, Du-jae, Castrop; Heung-min

Brazil: Form and Statistics

Brazil's path to the 2026 FIFA World Cup was anything but easy. They barely made it to fifth place, which is a far cry from how strong they used to be. The Selecão are looking for their lost magic now that Italian tactician Carlo Ancelotti is in charge. He led Real Madrid, PSG, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea to victory in Europe. Their most recent memory, though, is a painful one: they lost to Bolivia 0–1. Ancelotti took over with four games left in the qualifiers and quickly made things better. Brazil only gave up one goal in their first four games, which is a big difference from when they gave up four goals to Argentina under Dorival Junior. They were eight points ahead of the playoff zone and only one point behind Ecuador, even though they had lost six games, which was the most among qualified teams.

Brazil Team News and Lineup

Injuries have hurt a lot. Alisson Becker, Marquinhos, and Raphinha are out, but Vinícius Júnior is still the team's heart. Matheus Cunha of Manchester United is back and ready to take over the number 10 spot. Richarlison is also looking for a spot in the attack. With Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães in charge, the midfield will have a Premier League feel to it. Their form is still hard to predict. After a sure 3–0 win over Chile, they lost to Bolivia in a shocking way. Paraguay and Ecuador have been able to throw Brazil off their game, but when Lucas Paquetá and the speedy Estêvão work together, Brazil looks unstoppable. The 4-3-3 is still their canvas: wide, aggressive, and risky. Ancelotti wants to control the middle of the field and be precise on the break. He wants to press high to stop Korea's playmakers and then hit them quickly and with purpose.

OUT: Marquinhos (not in squad), Raphinha (hamstring), Joao Pedro (not in squad), Alisson (hamstring), Ederson (not in squad), Vanderson (hamstring)

🔖 Brazil Expected Lineup 

Bento; Vanderson, Militao, Gabriel, Santos; Casemiro, Guimaraes; Estevao, Cunha, Vinicius; Richarlison

South Africa vs Brazil: Betting Tips & Odds

• Kim Min-jae is the heart of South Korea's defense at the age of 28. The tall center-back has traveled all over Europe, from Fenerbahce to Napoli, before joining Bayern Munich in 2023. He has always been there for his country, playing in almost every World Cup Qualifier.
• Richarlison is Brazil's best player on the field. The Tottenham forward is having a great season so far, scoring three goals. He will try to bring that same energy to Seoul. His journey from Fluminense to Watford, then Everton, and now North London has made him a tough competitor.
• People will be looking at two names, Son Heung-min and Lucas Paquetá. Son's accuracy and leadership lead the Korean attack, while Paquetá's vision keeps Brazil's creativity going. These two could set the pace and choose how the story goes.
• In the last month, both teams have only played each other twice, and each team won once. But Brazil's ability to finish games away from home is still in doubt. They couldn't score last time, even though they averaged more than ten shots per game. They hope to change that under the lights in Seoul.

South Korea vs Brazil match Prediction, 10th October 2025

Brazil is likely to win based on team news and recent performances, but don't be surprised if both teams score. This is why: Ancelotti's Brazil likes to get off to a good start. They press high and often beat their opponents with their technical skill, especially if they take control of midfield early on. They might be slow on the road, but their attacking power should show through. Son and Kang-In Lee will lead South Korea into battle. They are always dangerous on the counterattack, especially when they are at home or on neutral ground. The formation for both teams is 4-3-3. Brazil will have a lot of the ball because they have averaged more than 400 passes in their last few games. But their high-pressing style has a cost: they tend to commit fouls, averaging nine per game in their last five games.
