Hello, after a successful group stage, where we experienced one failure and the choice of one match returned (by the way in both matches money was lost, not due to a wrong prediction of the course of the match, but due to decisions not understood by the referees, which hurts a lot, since the predictions were correct and the matches went as we had anticipated, but unfortunately the final result is negative). The quarterfinal, where Mexico, which entered for the sixth time in a row, meets the underrated Netherlands before the championship, whose strategist L. Vangaal combined experience with youth, and what a result we see from their results. Netherlands took the first place in their group (Spain, Chile, Australia) winning all the matches, and the balance of goals scored and conceded is simply impressive 10-3/+7, agree that to score 3.3 goals per match in such a group is something incredible and says a lot about their attacking potential. RVP and Robben scored 3 goals each. Mexico, playing a completely different style of football than the Netherlands, scored 4 and conceded 1, won two matches, and one ended in a draw, and in the group (Brazil, Croatia, Cameroon) they took the 2nd place due to goal difference (+3 Mexico, +5 Brazil). Their defense is very strong, as evidenced by the fact that they only conceded 1 goal, but it no longer had any significance, as Mexico was already leading 3-0 against Croatia and already secured their place in the next round, and we could attribute the successful defense to the goalkeeper, who played fantastically against Brazil. Let's try to review the teams and predict the course of the match, and here we will provide arguments why it is worth trying luck with this choice. So the odds are good and we have them due to Mexico's good defense, but it is worth noting that Mexico knows how to attack as well, and if all 3 goals that they scored against Cameroon were counted according to the rules, and if luck wasn't on the side of the goalkeeper against Brazil, then we would have seen an average of about 3 goals in the matches involving Mexico, and for such a choice we should have odds of about 1.7. In the match against Brazil, Mexico focused on defense and achieved their goal, but even 3 times Brazilian players hit the ball straight at the goalkeeper from excellent opportunities, which shows that Mexico's defense is not that impregnable. In the match against Croatia, it was an evenly contested match until the 72nd minute, but after conceding, the Croats started playing open football and went all out, as a result, in just 20 minutes they scored 4 goals, and the importance of these matches was just as high, as these games decided who advances to the quarterfinals. Meanwhile, the Netherlands played Spain and Chile as the second number and used their fast attacking players, even though these teams were not their main strength, and with Australia there was a completely open game, the Dutch game style is explosive and after playing quietly for a dozen minutes, suddenly becomes very fast, and it is worth noting the role of defender Blind, who already has 3 assists from deep positions, and opponents cannot regroup, as a result, they concede. Of course, the match will start cautiously and neither team will expose their defense, but after conceding a goal, we believe that neither the Dutch nor the Mexicans would be able to keep a clean sheet unless the goal is scored in the second half, and the team trailing must go on the attack, exposing their defense, as a result, they can concede a counter-attack, also Mexico did not face a similar attack in the group stage (Brazil is struggling and certainly not in the best form, Croatia is struggling, Cameroon just came for a tourist trip). The Netherlands showed very well how to play against Chile, although they had only draws, but by playing defensive football throughout the match, they used 2 opportunities at the end and won 2-0, and these draws are not satisfying, so the Netherlands will not play fully defensively, but will play attacking football. It should be a cautious but attractive game for the eyes, but attacking, not completely defensive, and since the odds are very good and we see more positives than negatives, we try it. But do not forget that the ball is round, the referee is human, and betting is a risk.
