Brazil vs Belgium Soccer Preview-Predictions Many people would have chosen Brazil when asked before the kick-off of any FIFA World Cup to predict which team will score the most goals. Traditionally known for their thirst for goals, a flair for the spectacular and their ‘Joga Bonito’. A Selecao is with a current total of seven goals at Russia 2018. That puts them fifth in the scoring charts, five behind the top team, Belgium. Thiago Silva, Brazil’s defensive marshal has helped his side go 310 minutes without conceding. He formed the meanest backline at these world finals with just a solitary goal so far. Between disciplined defending and between controlled attacking only rarely have Brazil found the balance as they have so far in Russia. The Belgians have proved to be vulnerable at the back, by way of contrast. With players like Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard have shown to be capable of scoring or creating something at any given moment. Lukaku is second in scoring at this World Cup with four goals. It’s not for nothing they have been labeled as the country’s golden generation. Can they move to the last four and can they get better of the five-time world champions in Kazan? If they do so it will mean Belgium winning a fifth consecutive World Cup match which would set a new national record. At the global showpiece, the first and only time the sides previously met was in the last 16 in 2002 when goals from Ronaldo and Rivaldo earned a victory for the Brazil team. For Neymar and Philippe Coutinho, this is a result that would make them more than happy to emulate since they have been each directly involved in three goals already. Possible line-ups: Brazil: Willian, Philippe Coutinho, Neymar, Fagner, Thiago Silva, Miranda, Filipe Luis/Marcelo, Fernandinho, Paulinho, Alisson, Gabriel Jesus. Belgium: Axel Witsel, Kevin De Bruyne, Nacer Chadli, Thomas Meunier, Jan Vertonghen, Vincent Kompany, Toby Alderweireld, Marouane Fellaini, Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois.
