If you are only going to sit down and watch one World Cup quarter final this weekend then make sure it is this one. These two have the ability to turn this into the game of the tournament, and potentially an all time classic. Both Brazil and Belgium love to attack and score goals, they play with a positive mindset and they want to win. That should give us a fantastic game of football, that will go from end to end throughout, and a real treat for neutrals.

These two teams have shown different levels of ability and promise so far at the World Cup. With Brazil, it always feels like there is more to come from them, they started very slowly, and are beginning to get up to the level we expect from them. There is no doubt that they have another gear to use if they need it, and so far seem to have played within themselves, holding back with the bigger picture in mind. They will need to go into top gear in this one, because Belgium are going to give them a real test.

Belgium have been playing some very good football throughout the tournament, and they have been scoring goals for fun. They scored nine goals in their three group games and then added a further three in their last gasp victory over Japan at the last 16 stage. They have been playing at a high level throughout, and if they can keep that up then they have a chance of causing an upset by beating Brazil in this one.

Brazil comfortably found their way past Mexico in the last 16, beating them 2-0 and controlling the game after surviving an early push from Mexico. Belgium had things much tougher in their game, but what was great to see was the character they showed. At 2-0 down against Japan they never gave up, and found a way back into the contest. At 2-2 the game looked to be heading into extra time, but with the last kick of the game Belgium went the full length of the pitch to score the winner.

Brazil vs Belgium Betting Tips

Many people are going to tune in for this one, it looks sure to be a great game. There is little to choose between these two teams based on what we have seen so far, but the feeling is that Brazil could have another gear that they may be about to unleash here, because it will be needed.

Assuming that Brazil do have that, they should have too much for Belgium and they can book their semi-final place and take on the winner of the first game on Friday. This has been a good tournament for Belgium so far, but we have seen the best from them, and if Brazil turn up and play like they can then they can take this game and send the Belgians home.

In what should be a very good game to watch, with plenty of attacking play, the pick is Brazil to win.
