Brazil are a top priced 6/10 with Coral to win their game against Chile today (5pm Ko, Live on BBc1) and look worthy odds-on shot to do just that.
Phil Scolari’s side were not at at their brilliant best in the group stages, but their 4-1 win over Cameroon in the final game suggested that they were ready to hit top gear.
The hosts put up a great attacking disaply in the first 45 minutes, and although their defence was far from solid they cruised past their African opponents.
That win means that Selecao are now unbeaten now unbeaten in 40 successive matches on home soil, and they have also won on all three previous World Cup encounters with Chile.
Brazil put 11 goals past them in thsoe wins, an average of 3.7 per game, and that makes over 3.5 goals in this match look well worth a wager at 7/4 with Paddy Power.
Neymar has been outstanding for Brazil, and already has four goals to his name in the tournament.
The Barcelona striker has now netted eight times in his last six games, and the 10/11 on offer with Hills about him netting anytime looks a rock solid bet.
In the correct score market, I like the look of Brazil winning 3-1 or 4-1 at odds of 12/1 and 22/1 respetively with BetVictor. Split stakes on both looks the way to play.
