World Cup 2018 Football Predictions Group E – Brazil

After facing national humiliation last time out at the 2014 World Cup, in an infamous semi-final fixture that saw the South Americans somehow lose 7-1 against their German opposition, Brazil will certainly be operating in Russia this summer with a major point to prove.

They remain the most successful ever nation throughout the entirety of World Cup history, but if Brazil once again fail to showcase the fullest extent of their abilities next time out at the 2018 World Cup, expect masses of backlash to await Neymar and co. on the plane home from Russia.

 

Will Brazil win the 2018 World Cup?

Brazil nonetheless remain strong favourites to win the 2018 World Cup according to most World Cup football predictions. Their team has been developing nicely since being dumped out of the semi-finals against Germany in 2014, with a whole host of exciting talents recently establishing themselves within the English top-flight and beyond.

Whilst each of France, Spain, Germany and Argentina will find themselves in full confidence ahead of the upcoming summer competition, Brazil arguably play host to the greatest all-round squad of players. They therefore deserve due consideration to go all the way and claim a sixth World Cup trophy as their own.

 

Who will be Brazil’s star man at the World Cup?

It remains somewhat difficult to look past PSG’s Neymar in the run up to the 2018 World Cup. This could really prove to be the tournament he has been waiting for after all, especially with so many other world renowned superstars operating alongside him this summer.

The 26-year-old Brazilian magician has been rising in prominence in his quest to become the most recognised individual talent in the whole of world football, ever since departing Lionel Messi’s overwhelming shadow of influence down at the Nou Camp.

Neymar will nonetheless find himself heavily targeted at this summer’s upcoming competition. If he can rise to the challenge and fend off the impending attacks soon to come his way, we really could be looking at the next best star to claim the global stage as his own.

Alongside the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Roberto Firmino, Coutinho and the ever present Thiago Silva at the back – Neymar has more than enough talent to count upon as Brazil enter the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

 

What are Brazil’s Group E fixtures?

Switzerland – Brazil should be looking to claim maximum points from their opening group-stage encounters. Whilst Switzerland have proven a relatively impressive defensive unit among previous international tournaments, Brazil are capable of casting them aside with as minimum fuss as possible.

Costa Rica – Once again, this is another upcoming fixture that Brazil must be aiming to win. Costa Rica impressed us all last time out at the 2014 World Cup, but it appears as if they will lack the necessary guile, skill and determination to come out on top against the might of Brazil.

Serbia – Brazil could theoretically encounter one or two problems against Serbia this summer. Although the South Americans will most likely reign supreme in the cold light of day, Tite’s star-studded squad could potentially struggle against Serbia’s notoriously physical approach, especially inside the final third.

 

Brazil’s World Cup Tips & Predictions

Brazil have every reason to expect some vastly improved fortunes from their national side this summer. The horrors of that 2014 semi-final against the Germans must never be repeated again, for Brazil will be more than keen to get off to a fresh start and remind us all of just what they are really about.

World Cup betting tips seem to envisage this particular set of players going all the way. Brazil play host to a greater sense of balance within their first-team ranks this summer, and if they can somehow keep Neymar fit and firing throughout the entirety of the tournament, expect this team to strive forward with the aim of landing that prestigious World Cup trophy in mind.
