Brazil Vs Chile FIFA World Cup 2010 : The top-ranked team in the world will take to the pitch once again to face Chile in a round of 16 match up.
The Brazilians secured their place in the second round with victories over North Korea and Ivory Coast, and followed that up with an uninspired 0-0 draw against powerful a match played without their star Kaka. Brazil will look to return to the form that buried Ivory Coast when they play a depleted Chilean team on Monday night in South Africa.
Chile advanced to the knockout round despite a 2-1 lossThat loss was preceded by 1-0 victories against nd Switzerland. The Chileans will almost certainly need more than one goal to beat Brazil.
The Brazilians have owned Chile in past match ups, and they enter play on Monday with a 46-6-12 record. The two teams met twice in with Brazil winning both match ups by the decisive goal total of 7-2.
After playing their third match of group play without Kaka, Elano, and Robinho, Brazil will have all three players available to them in this match. Chile, on the other hand, lost three players in their 2-1 loss to Spain at the end of group play. Midfielder Marco Estrada was sent off in the 37th minute, and defenders Gary Medel and Waldo Ponce were booked with yellow cards for the second time in group play, and thus earned one game suspensions.
Both teams are potentially facing injury problems entering the match. Chilean striker Humberto Suazo was unavailable against Spain, and it is not sure that he will be able to play against Brazil. Suazo could be key to Chile’s chances of success, as they will need offensive fire power to keep pace with Brazil. He has only paid one half in this tournament, having missed three months due to a shoulder surgery. Brazil may be without defensive midfielder Felipe Melo who is nursing an ankle sprain, and Julio Baptista, a reserve who injured his knee on Friday.
Look for the Chileans to come out in full force as they look to give their coach his first victory in six chances against Brazil, but int he end look for Brazil to win easily, overpowering Chile with their offensive attack.
