Soccer World Cup 06/17: Brazil vs. Mexico

Brazil vs. Mexico Preview:

I have a small lean w/ Both Teams to Score in here but I’ve decided to scratch the potential play once Brazil’s starting lineup was announced.

Mexico showed some good football against Cameroon, but they faced a really poor team who didn’t understand that they had to limit Mexico’s wing backs… Mexico created plenty of chances using their defensive wings on forward runs and their game plan for today vs. Brazil won’t be that much different.

Brazil showed some defensive liabilities on the wings… I really didn’t like the way Daniel Alves defended vs. Croatia and he could have some problems today. However, Brazil’s NT coach Scolari made a smart decision in inserting Ramires in his starting XI in the place of Hulk. Ramires has great stamina and a tremendous work-rate, he will cover some ground on the wings and that would be a problem for Mexico’s attack. With this important matchup issue, I have also a small lean w/ Brazil but his -1.25/-1.5 line is just way too high IMO, so I'm passing in here
