I prefer to play non-WC team because they have nothing to lose, unlike WC team, they will probably play with caution to avoid injuries; the result does not matter to WC team.
What do you think?

Generally, I would take the WC team in their final tuneup; especially if they play at home. The non-WC team is in vacation mode.

Always exceptions (was probably a huge game for China). WC-teams went 4-1 today against non-WC teams, and the loser (Honduras) played on the road against Romania. Final tuneup is more important than other friendlies. Coach wants to know that team is ready for WC.
