Brazil vs Netherlands – World Cup Predictions

Posted on July 13, 2014 by SoccerPunter

Brazil vs Netherlands for World Cup will be played at Estádio Nacional de Brasília.

Brazil suffered an embarrassing defeat to Germany for the semi-finals. Nobody knew Germany would beat Brazil by seven goals.

The humiliating defeat was due to the absence of captain and central defender Thiago Silva and striker Neymar.

Brazil fans would be delighted to welcome Thiago Silva back to the starting line-up against Netherlands. However, Nemyar will not return until October.

As the hosts for World Cup 2014, Brazil cannot afford to lose two matches in a row. That would be deemed as a failure to their campaign.

Brazil will do everything to beat Netherlands and secure the third placing.

Netherlands have yet to lose a match during the normal 90 minutes. In the previous match, they were eliminated by Argentina on penalty shootout.

Arjen Robben is a threat to Brazil and he will be man-marked by Dani Alves or Maicon.

H2H stats shows that Brazil have never lost at home to Netherlands. Apart from the friendlies in 2011, there have been at least 2 goals in their encounters.

Netherlands to win odds has increased by 10 percent in some bookmakers.
