Brazil vs Chile 28th June 5pm

Brazil kicks off the next round of the tournament in Belo Horizonte in what promises to be an exciting encounter. Brazil has just lost once to Chile and will be extremely motivated to cruise on to the quarter-finals with a huge home support. Both South American teams last met in a World Cup in 2010 with Brazil winning 3-0. Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari should have a full-strength squad available, though we could still see changes with the Seleção having been pretty average throughout the World Cup so far. The most likely change is Fernandinho in for the unspectacular Paulinho in the midfield pivot, though striker Fred is another player whose performances have been poor so far. However, Scolari's a coach who doesn't particularly like to change his preferred lineup, so it's perfectly
possible they'll stay unchanged.

Chile too could stay unchanged, though it's likely that coach Sampaoli will reintroduce Arturo Vidal to their midfield after he was left out of their
lineup against the Netherlands while still not at full fitness. If he does drop to the bench, Felipe Gutiérrez is likely to take his place.

Brazil has always dominated any game against Chile and a home support will not do Chile any favour either. It's the knockout stage so Brazil will not take this game likely, the Samba boys always takes an lead early with Chile in most of their encounters and such situation will most likely repeat itself HERE.

Verdict: Brazil to win at Half time
