how many goals you think in the portugal vs brazil match will score?

I think it will be a low scoring affair. Maybe 2-3 goals. My first impression is a goal feast but seeing how they played against Ivory Coast, I won't be surprise to see Portugal packing the defence and try to hold out the Brazilians/

Brazil has good tradition in World Cup. They always appear in final round of World Cup and often pass to semifinal and final. But they do not always become the winner in Group. Portugal have shown their quality as the champion candidate by beating North Korean with fantastic score. Lucio and friends perhaps will meet trouble with Portugal. But Brazil have champion frame of mind. It's never easy to beat Brazil. They both has pass to the next round and the result is not important. Furthermore, they don't know who will be the winner of group H which will be their rival. They may use their second player as the starter. I think the match will draw.

I think Brazil will win this game. It will be bit more easier as far as I am concerned. I think Brazil will win this match 2-0. I think Brazil will play better without Kaka as Kaka was looking woeful though he did create both the goals in the last match!! Cheers! Ram

shibilyt, This match will be quite interesting to determine the scores as Brazil will be without their renowned Kaka who has to sit out for this match due to a red card he received in the match against Ivory Coast. However, I am siding Brazil on a few reasons and for one, Dunga's men are very serious and discipline in every aspect and Kaka's replacement will not only be looking forward to play but a permanent feature in the first 11. So, you can expect no less than another fully dedicated all out performance by the Brazilians. Portugal - I really cannot say much except that their 7-0 scoreline is quite expected as they were playing a basically spartan outfit who neither has any big match experience or professional league players. However, let's not forget how they struggled to go into the dressers with a 1-0 score in the first half, which to me is really a surprise coming from a team with the most expensive player in the world and many other world class players. My first take for this match will be one of a goalless draw, unless Dunga's men wants to prove a point and secure a win which will be narrow like 1-0 or 2-0 in Brazil's favor. But, again what's the point especially when they (Brazil) have an agenda against Ivory Coast who has been the tournaments culprit for roughhouse tactics and tackles which had one of their player carried out in their previous match. A draw will definitely see their Portugal counterpart through. Unless, Ivory Coast can hit 7 goals or better past the North Koreans and beat Portugal (if it looses to Brazil) on goal difference to enter the second round. So, it will be a goalless draw and if not Brazil beating the Portuguese narrowly by a goal or two.

I normally don't bet but I believe it will be a hard encounter, we will not see many goals. mine is 1-1

Hi shibilyt I think the match will end in a draw and the scoreline will be 1-1.Remember that Brazil are already through to the next round and it will be upto Portugal to force the issue.The portugal might have scored 7 goals against the North Koreans but Brazil is obviously different.Also I think that in this match Dunga will try to test his defense and Brazil will be without the services of Kaka.Dunga will ring in afew changes in the side surely.Portugal doesn't have enough creative footballers except Ronaldo and to some extent Simao to weave the magic and their coach Quiroz will try to strengthen the defense and get a draw out of the game which will take them to the next round ahead of Ivory Coast.
