World Cup favourites Brazil were simply stunning the first-half of their last 16 tie against South Korea, laying out their credentials for a sixth World Cup win with a 4-1 win.
All their goals came in a brilliant first-half performance, with key attackers Neymar, Vinicius Jr and Richarlison all on the scoresheet, showing how ready they are to kick into gear at the business end of the World Cup.
They look set to be punters’ favourites in the next few rounds and with Neymar at full fitness, they could continue to plunder goals against a leggy and uninspiring Croatia side that limped past Japan into the last eight.
They triumphed in a poor penalty shootout, but in truth it looked as though it was a tournament too far for the likes of Luka Modric and Mateo Kovacic, who were both substituted with the game on the line.
Despite that, don’t be surprised if they manage to drag the game into stoppage time and potentially penalties.

Croatia Vs Brazil – Friday 9th
Brazil 5 or more shots on target
Over 3.5 Brazil corners
Thiago Silva over 70 match passes
Brazil the obvious favourites and will be expected to dominate the ball, Thiago silva has averaged 77 passes per game in this World Cup and with them being the possession team you can expect him to rack them up again here.
Brazil average 7 shots on target per match this World Cup and with the attacking players at their disposal against an ageing Croatia side who will likely set up defensive it’s hard to not see them testing the keeper on numerous occasions.
Brazil have again averaged 7 corners earned per match this World Cup and with the same reasons as the match shots it’s hard to see them not getting a few corners here. Exciting wide players and players from midfield who arrive in the box and shoot from distance they should get a minimum of 4 corners here.
Netherlands Vs Argentina – Friday 9th 15:00
Over 2.5 match cards
Over 2.5 Netherlands corners
Over 2.5 Argentina corners
Netherlands and Argentina do battle in the first quarter final of the 2022 World Cup and it’s a match between two of the big guns. Argentina are slight favourites, but I do feel this game can go either way which makes for a great game.
Both teams average match cards is just over 2 per game but now at the quarter final stages tensions rise and the pressure is increased. Spanish referee Mr Lahoz renowned in Spain for issuing cards averaged 4.7 cards per game.
Both teams have been strong on the corners this competition with a combined match total of 9.2 and both teams averaging over 4 each per game. Both sides have definitely looked vulnerable defensively which wasn’t expected coming into this and with the attacking players on show you can expect both teams to create plenty of chances here.
