Australia vs Brazil
This Tuesday friendly should be seen for what it is: an opportunity for World Cup-bound Brazil to experiment and a chance for Australia to get the best preparation possible for the looming Confederations Cup football games in Russia.
However, that doesn’t mean that there will be little fun and competitiveness in this match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as the Australians are expected to thrill their live betting followers with a spirited showing against some of the finest players on the planet.
After all, everyone knows that Socceroos boss Ange Postecoglou wants to win at all times, even if betting odds aren’t in their favour.
The Australians will be high on confidence following their recent 3-2 victory against Saudi Arabia. Things could get ugly for them if they repeat the same poor defending they displayed in that match, but they also took positives from it, including excellent performances from striker Tomi Juric and midfielder Tom Rogic.
Not to mention that they showed a lot of character and game smarts in the latter part which proves that they won’t easily crumble no matter how high or big the pressure is.
For Brazil, this battle presents an opportunity for them to get back to winning ways after suffering a 1-0 loss to Argentina. And surely, they’ll be determined to take it.
Coach Tite didn’t like that his first loss as Selecao boss came from a friendly and he has already promised to reorganise and “play with coherence.”
They’ll be without Barcelona star Neymar while Gabriel Jesus is still doubtful to play following his injury scare last Friday; however, make no mistake, Brazil are full of talented players who would be walk-up starters in other teams.
Both these teams boast incredible offensive power – Australia have nine goals in their last five while Brazil have 10 in the same span – and although they are expected to give some game time to their fringe players, goals are certain to come in what should be an exciting send-off for the hosts.
Betting on Australia Asian Handicap +1.00 @ 2.19 is worth considering while a Draw @ 4.20 also looks profitable. Nonetheless, if you are one of the neutrals, Goals Over 3.00 @ 2.07 should be a solid choice.
