World Cup – Netherlands Vs Brazil – Preview and Betting Picks
Posted on June 30, 2010 by Harry
Netherlands and Brazil will play at Friday July 2nd for the World Cup quarter finals. Unfortunately one of those two great teams will not be able to progress further but the football fans worldwide hope for an exciting match. Netherlands reach the quarter finals after a 2-1 victory over Slovakia in the first knock out phase. The finished in top spot from their group with three wins after three games. The team looks better than ever especially now that Robben is back and he seems to be in excellent form. On the other hand, the all mighty Brazil will face perhaps for the first time in this World cup a world class football power. The Brazilians also finished at top spot on their group with two wins and a draw and at first knock out stage overcome the obstacle of Chile quite easily by a 3-0 score.
Holland demonstrates attacking football with Robben as the mastermind who tries to pass the ball to Van Persie and to Kuyt while the captain Van Bommel organizes the defensive tactics. On the other hand, Brazil – perhaps for the first time – is not having the superstar at their squad roster. Of course players like Kaka, Robinho, Maicon, Lucio and many others can make the difference in an eye glimpse but this Brazil plays more like a team than ever. The attacking mentality of the full backs helps the team to deploy 5 or 6 players on the opposing field and the constant movement of the players such as Fabiano makes the zonal marking almost impossible.
The online sports betting sites offer Holland’s win at 16/5(4.20), the draw at 11/5(3.20) while Brazil’s win at 19/20(1.95). The bet of which team will eventually qualify is set at 13/8(2.62) for Holland and 4/9(1.44) for Brazil. The Over / Under 2.5 Goals bet odds are 23/20(2.15) / 13/20(1.65) but this is something I do not agree with. Both teams can score quite easily and I believe that Holland has the power to score first. On the other hand, if Brazil concedes then we will watch a high scoring game for sure. I believe that we will watch a game with Over 2.5 Goals and potential correct score picks can be the 1-2 (7/1- 8.00), 2-1 (12/1 – 13.00) or the 2-2 (16/1 – 17.00).
