Brazil will be under real pressure to perform here and the mere idea that they can potentially go out to their rivals Chile makes things especially interesting. Keep your eyes peeled for Chile to perhaps put together a strong tactical switch that might confound Brazil. 

The early goal here is key, and if Brazil get it they will be in the drivers seat even more. Chile, however, would really turn the match on its head if they were to score first and then keep Brazil off the score sheet heading into the second half. There are a wide variety of different permutations here but you can count on them being able to kick on with both teams showing they can play some great stuff. 

As it currently stands, Brazil trades at 1.60 and that looks like a pretty solid wager - one that will definitely feature on a number of accumulator tickets with the other fixture of the day and, potentially, a few from the next day as well. The Chileans, to their credit, trade at a very competitive price of 6.0 to get the result in 90 minutes. They have played some great stuff this tournament and you have to say it is probably an overlay. 

One of the tricky parts about betting on the knockout stages is that you have to deal with extra time and penalties. If you’re looking for prices on outright qualification from the match, you’ll find the Brazilians available at 1.28 while Chile can be backed at 3.50.
