HOLLAND VS BRAZIL PREDICTIONS AND WORLD CUP BETTING PREVIEW PART TWO
Brazil can be backed at 1.66 to score the first goal in the match and I think that's a reasonable enough price, but I'm more tempted to back Holland at 2.5. I think that's a solid in-play bet and if the Dutch start exceptionally strong I would jump all over that one.
The over/under on goals at 2.5 favours the under at 1.72 while the over can be backed at even-money. Over 3.5 goals is trading at 3.5 while over 4.5 goals pays out at a hefty 7.0.
If you think Brazil will steamroll Holland, try backing them on the (-1.0) handicap at a 3.5 price while the Dutch are sitting at 1.75 with a (+1.0) advantage. Brazil (-2.0) is priced at 8.0 while Holland (+2.0) is sitting at 1.2.
The over/under on time of the first goal for the Holland vs Brazil fixture favours anytime after 28 minutes. You'll find that priced at 1.72, while 27 minutes and under is priced at even-money.
A red card at this level can completely alter the course of the tournament for somebody and if you expect a red in this fixture, you can back that at 3.4 while no red cards is listed at 1.28.
A penalty to be awarded and scored is listed at 3.0 and that penalty to be awarded and missed is listed at 10.0.
This is the type of match where you can't just really venture forth and take a "fortune favours the brave type" of attitude. Personally, I think this one could be a bit of a chess match for the first 20 minutes or so as both sides start to feel each other out. The sheer number of potential match-winners on this pitch make this one a real minefield for defenders and anybody tasked with the difficult job of marshaling the midfields and protecting the back four.
