FIFA World Cup 2014 - Netherlands Vs Chile Starting Line Prediction
Both teams have qualified for knockout stages from the Group
B but there is still first place up for grab, and finishing first in the group
might avoid them a clash against Brazil. Netherlands have been breath of fresh
air, playing with 5-3-2 formation leaving Robben
and Van Persie upfront with alot
more room to create havoc while Chile played the most compact football in the
competition so far. Both teams exceeded expectations in the group stages so
far, with Netherlands tearing world
champions Spain apart with a 5-1 win
while Chile put a massive dent on Spanish side with a comfortable 2-0
victory which ensured their passage to next round and Spain’s early exit. Netherlands looked a bit shaky at the back in
3-2 win over Australia while Chile played well to be aussies 2-1 in
the opening fixture of the group.

FIFA World Cup 2014 - Netherlands Vs Chile |
Netherlands are
likely to stick with the same lineup and system playing 5 at the back and three
in the central roles with Robben and
Van Persie playing as out and out
strikers. The system has gave Netherlands
much needed protection at the back with sacrificing their attacking flair.
Chile game play
revolves around Alexies Sanchez who has been playing superbly in
the first two matches. Chile’s defence looked much better than of Netherlands if we compared their first
two games and we can see Chile causing all sorts of problems of Netherlands in this game.

Netherlands Vs Chile - Possible Starting Lineup |
Match Prediction
If we go back in 2008
Euro championship where Netherlands
started with defeating France and
Italy in style and became the hot favourites to win the competition, they meet
Russia in knockout stages and got humbled. So what I am trying to say is Netherlands tend to start big
competitions on fire but there is a reason they have never won a World Cup, because they always come short in the game what matters. Netherlands are the biggest under
achievers in the world cups, they had great squads in the past
but could not pass that final hurdle.
Match Prediction
Chile has all the ingredients
to cause all sorts of problems for Netherlands back line which looked shaky on
both Spain and Australia games. This Netherlands
side will create chances and will score goals but they will most certainly leak
goals. We can expect a 2-1 win for Chile
in this game.
The most awaited part of any football fan - the world cup. But before that, the team that wins the Euro 2016 has considerably slot in the most awaited event. Happening this July, the 24 finalists will battle for their fame and prejudice. It's going to be a war between strikers and goalkeepers!
