World Cup 2014 last 16 preview: Brazil v Chile

Neymar will also be available in an enhanced 7/4 wincast (he scores anytime and Brazil beat Chile) on the matchday itself, with punters able to stake a maximum of £20.

Fred, meanwhile, is a player that Big Phil has got plenty out of; 11 of his 18 international goals have come under the current Brazil national coach. Much-maligned for winning a soft penalty in the opening game and grabbing an offside goal against Cameroon, he is a more attractive 7/4 to score here.

Hulk, like Neymar, has previously netted when paired with Chile and it came in their last encounter, so odds of 2/1 in the anytime market, and 7/1 to get the first goal must both be considered too. That takes care of the forward line, but behind these names and Oscar, Scolari’s Samba Boys have function as well as flair.

The Brazil defence has been breached just twice at the tournament so far, so back Thiago Silva, David Luiz et al to keep a clean sheet at 5/4. Trying to beat Julio Cesar, however, will be Alexis Sanchez and Eduardo Vargas.

It is Valencia loanee Vargas that the Samba Boys will fear most. He has scored in both of the last two encounters between the Chileans and Brazil. Back Vargas at a tasty 11/4 to be on target again here. Strike partner Sanchez, meanwhile, is shorter at 2/1.

Jorge Sampaoli’s side are set-up for all-out attack, but something will have to give, especially with square pegs in round holes in defence. Back Big Phil’s Brazil to win, but both teams to score at 12/5.
