Portugal vs Brazil prediction
For the first time in the knockout stage, Brazil did not require a penalty shootout to advance through after a 95th minute quarter-final winner saw off Morocco by two goals to one. Portugal’s quarter-final fixture was far less dramatic as they defeated fellow European side Switzerland 2-0. It’s now nine goals over the course of Portugal’s three knockout stage fixtures so far, with all of them having been won without requiring extra time.
Brazil faces a huge battle in stopping this rampant Portuguese offense from doing what they’ve done best over the course of this competition, score goals! They smashed six in consecutive group games and are yet to score less than two since the beginning of the knockout stage. However, Brazil have given up just three goals all tournament, not conceding more than one goal in a single fixture. So, this really is a battle of attack vs defence. But Brazil have ridden their luck across these knockout rounds whilst Portugal have looked more convincing. Therefore, consider backing the latter to narrowly win out via the draw no bet market for extra security.
Portugal vs Brazil tip: Portugal draw no bet
