Serbia – Brazil
We are taking our attention to Group E of the FIFA World Cup in Russia and the decisive clash between Serbia and Brazil. Hope our vip soccer predictions for the World Cup game are useful for you. Let’s look what’s happening in this group so far.
Right now Brazil are leading the group with 4 points, while Switzerland are second with the same amount of points. Serbia are third with 3 points, while Costa Rica are 4th without any. But some things might change after the last round. Serbia will qualify for the 1/8-finals if they beat Brazil, so for them this is “all or nothing” type of game. Brazil in the same time can qualify even with a draw, but in this way they might lose the top position in the group.
Before the World Cup began, Brazil were regarded by many pundits and journalists as the number one favourite for the trophy. Mainly because of their amazing performance during the South American qualifiers and the friendly games. But now – with the World Cup already in action, we all see that this Brazilian team is not as perfect as we thought. Selecao made a draw in their first game against Switzerland, which was followed by a dramatic win over Costa Rica with two goals in the injury time. Now we see that this team of Brazil can be vulnerable, which totally changes the perspective.
Serbia on the other hand started with a win over Costa Rica, but they suffered a dramatic defeat against Switzerland. The Eagles were close to win a point against the Swiss team, but a Xherdan Shaqiri strike in the last minutes caused them an upset. But in same time this Serbian team proved to be a squad filled with good players, who are ready to cause a major upset against Brazil. If they manage to win and kick Brazil out of the tournament, this would be one of the greatest nights in the history of Serbian football. And they have to try doing it, because at this moment they do not have any other option in front of them. They need the win.
Danilo and Douglas Costa are the injured players in Tite’s squad at this moment. Everyone expects that Tite will pick the same starting eleven from the game against Costa Rica. Despite of having so many difficulties in breaking the Costa Rican defense a few days ago. Casemiro, Paulinho and Coutinho shall start in midfield, while Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Willian are the ones playing in attack.
Manchester United’s Nemanja Matic and Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic are the two big leaders in Serbia’s midfield. If they perform in the way they can, Serbia can become a very difficult opponent to play against. Just like Brazil, the Serbian squad is filled with very technical players, who can move the ball pretty well on the pitch. This Serbian team have a lot of talent and they will give their all against Selecao.
Serbia’s head coach Mladen Krstajic claims that he knows what Brazil’s weaknesses are. And he intends to use them. Every team have weaknesses and Tite’s Brazil is not an exception. If Serbia plays with tactical discipline and they use their chances, they have a chance against Brazil.
These are our vip soccer predictions for the World Cup game from Group E between Serbia and Brazil. Both teams are trying to secure their qualification for the 1/8-finals, so we shall expect a thrilling game between them. On paper Brazil are favourites, of course, but don’t underrestimate the Serbian team. The Eagles have a lot of quality and they would want to show it against the five time world champion.
