Brazil vs. Australia Betting Odds

Brazil takes on Australia in this opening round of knockouts, a battle of teams looking to advance to the quarterfinals. Brazil won all three of their group stage games, scoring four combined goals while not allowing a single tally to an opponent.

Australia survived the Group of Death, finishing behind the Americans. The four points by Australia earned a second place in Group D, but it pits them against Brazil in the opening round and that is certainly not a good place to be. Australia gave up three goals to the Americans in their first World Cup game, shutout Nigeria and drew with Sweden 1-1.

Brazil will bring a highly effective offensive gameplan to this one tonight. Marta and the Brazilians are going to want to get some goals on the board in this one and do it early. The total of just 2.5 for goals scored lets us know this will be a solid match, but Brazil has been too good on the defensive side of the ball in this World Cup.
