That's why these friendlies are important. Since the Selecao didn't have to go through qualifying, they lack the experience that comes with playing in key matches, so it comes down to treating normally mundane friendlies as important fixtures. South Korea, even while going through a rough patch of their own, should be a good test.

That's exactly the type of match Brazil needs leading up to next summer. PredictionChung Sung-Jun/Getty ImagesNeymar's availability will have a major impact on the outcome, of course. If he's able to shake off the hip injury to start the match, Brazil will be in much better shape when it comes to picking up the road victory.
