The third place play-off at the World Cup is traditionally viewed as one of the most pointless games in the world of football – so how about we make it interesting?
While we’re tempted, oh so very tempted, to stick a fiver on a scoreline of the Netherlands 7-1 Brazil at 500/1, something tells us that the hosts will have somewhat got their act together ahead of the clash with Louis van Gaal’s side.
Brazil are still without Neymar but they still have enough quality to make a game of it this evening.
Thankfully, Luiz Felipe Scolari has put Fred out of his considerable misery and starts with Jo up front, while Willian and Oscar are the twin threats from midfield.
However, whatever the result tonight we still expect the Netherlands to start brightly.
We initially tipped Wesley Sneijder to score the first goal of the game, before the Galatasaray went and got himself all injured in the warm-up, so we’re switching to Arjen Robben at 7/1.
