Brazil Chile Betting – Brazil Will Blast Chile
One team was expected to be in the round of 16 and one team wasn’t – can you guess who? Brazil, the World Cup betting favorites have cruised into the round of 16 whereas Chile, who admittedly was in a weak group, managed to advance as well. Chile beat up on Switzerland and Honduras but their performance in a 2-0 loss to Spain is something that we are more likely to see here.
June 28th – 2:30 PM ET
Cape Town
Round Of 16
Team Brazil – Betting Preview
Brazil is as loaded as it gets when it comes to talent and they have flashed it through the opening round. Their defense is among the best in the business, which is a big concern for their opponents going forward, but another issue is how to handle their offensive weapons.
So far in the tournament, Brazil has conceded a pair of goals but both came in mop-up time. When the contests have been on the line, they have hardly been threatened.
On offense, they don’t need much of an opening to get a lead. North Korea thought they had Brazil suffocated but as soon as they blinked, they found themselves down 2-0. The Ivory Coast also quickly found out what Brazilian soccer is all about. Chile better be on their game or betting fans won’t see this be much of a contest for long.
Team Chile – Betting Preview
Chile advanced to this point as a result of a weak group, which is still a good accomplishment but it cheapens their credibility. Soccer betting fans may want to think twice before betting this team to pull a monumental upset.
The Chileans won twice in the opening round but topping Switzerland and Honduras isn’t medal-worthy. In their third contest, they were worked over by Spain and a couple of defensive lapses – especially a 34-yard goal by David Villa – really gave handicappers and insight into where they are at.
They will be in very tough on Monday against Brazil and unless they can find at least one miracle goal, they likely won’t qualify.
Who To Bet On?
Brazil is the team to bet on in this contest. They are going to be in control of this contest from start to finish and they won’t give up many chance. While it might be tight for the first half, expect Brazil to break them down in the second half and get a comfortable 2-0 win.
