Brazil v Chile World Cup Betting Odds: Chile 0-3 vs. Host Nation

An exciting match kicks off the Round of 16 with Brazil v Chile World Cup betting odds having the host nation as a -175 favorite (nearly 1/2) against a formidable Chile team, which is listed at 5/1 odds. The Draw pays better than 3/1 odds.  Both sides are getting equal action for this Saturday Noon Eastern Standard Time matchup.

Brazil have won all three previous World Cup fixtures against Chile, all of which have been in the knockout stages of the tournament (Round 2 in 2010, Round 2 in 1998, and the semi final in 1962).

Chile have conceded 11 goals in their three meetings with Brazil at the World Cup finals, an average of 3.7 per game.

Eduardo Vargas has scored in each of his last two appearances for Chile against Brazil, including a goal in Belo Horizonte in April 2013.

Brazil have scored two or more goals in each of their last nine matches against Chile, netting 32 in the process (3.6 per game).

Chile have lost each of their previous second round fixtures, both of which were against Brazil (0-3 in 2010 & 1-4 in 1998).

Brazil have won their last five second round matches at the World Cup, scoring 13 and keeping four clean sheets.

The last time that Brazil lost a World Cup match in the second round of the competition was back in 1990; losing 0-1 to eventual finalists and South American side Argentina.

Overall, Brazil have lost only one of their last 10 World Cup matches against South American opposition (W8 D1).

Chile have lost all four of their World Cup matches against fellow South American opposition, although three of those games were against opponents Brazil.

Chile have never beaten the Seleção on Brazilian soil, losing 20 and drawing six.
