Mens Olympic Football - Brazil v New Zealand
Brazil have been impressive in both matches so far with 3 goals scored in each game. They have qualified already and may give a few fringe players a game. New Zealand have the unenviable task of trying to beat Brazil to qualify.

Team Analysis: Brazil have been the expected attacking force, in game 1 it was Oscar who ran the show and was in sublime form. Linking midfield with attack and running Egypt ragged, at least in the 1st half. In game 2 it was Neymar who took to the fore. Playing the same type of attacking play he ran at the Belarus back line and caused all manner of problems. Brazil possess so many attacking options that opposition teams cannot single players out to concentrate on, stifle the forwards and the midfielders cause havoc. Even the wingbacks bomb forward. New Zealand have not got enough quality in key areas to trouble even minor teams. Losing to Belarus gives us an example of their level. They only troubled the Belarus back line with long passes and from dead balls. This tactic will not work against Brazil as they will not have enough of the ball to cause problems.
Betting Analysis - I really cannot see past another Brazil win and a win with goals. Brazil have many options so even a shadow side possesses enough firepower to down a below average New Zealand side. Selection is Brazil -1.50 at 1.60
