I wonder in what universe is Brasil such a big favorite today, that you actually get good handi odds on Belgium? Well I guess in ours, but because up until now Belgium is still a huge underdog, even though Brazil has shown absolutely nothing, except for half of the world trolling Neymar for his rolling, this is a 50-50 game if not even more in favor of Belgium, since they have proven they can score as many times as they want if it comes to trailing in a game.
BRAZIL:
A huge disappointment this year by the blue, green and yellow squad. They were quite lucky that Serbia had a bad day while playing them or else they would even have trouble to qualify from the group stage. Mexico put up a good fight against them, but they were just lacking in quality for the second half to keep up with Brazil. I don't believe this is the case today and whoever feels like this will be an easy game for Brazil, well I guess you can put your money where your mouth is.
BELGIUM:
Been a fan of their style of play since the qualifiers, what they have shown here is that this generation has been in developing stages for years and Belgium waited for a long time to get these individuals to the point they are at right now. A really solid defense, that can cope with any opposition, even if they seem a lot stronger and their offense is just on fire. They have goalscorers in every position and they do remind me of Brazil, maybe 15 years ago. I really do think that this is their time and they will get far in this one, possibly even pass Brazil.
PICK: BELGIUM +0.5 (PINNACLE SPORTS - ODD: @1.83/-120)
PICK: OVER 2.5 GOALS (PINNACLE SPORTS - ODD: @2.10/+110)
Again Belgium is not a big underdog here. What's left of Brazil is just a name and a few individuals. There is no team spirit and no chemistry if you watched their games that is exactly what you saw. And you can't really expect a team, which is not playing like a team, to go all the way can you now? What's gonna happen here today, in my opinion, is we're gonna see Belgium score and then the teams are off to the races scoring goals. We have huge firepower in front of both squads and don't see the game really ending at 1-0. My favorite pick is still the handi on Belgium, but after thinking about for a bit, the over seems pretty reasonable here too, and for a good price if I might add.
