Preview: Brazil vs. Chile

Sports Mole previews the round-of-16 clash between Group A winners Brazil and Group B runners-up Chile at Belo Horizonte this Saturday.

Brazil will be hoping to reach the quarter-finals at their home World Cup when they take on Chile in Belo Horizonte on Saturday.

The host nation came through Group A unbeaten, although were held to a draw by Mexico, and have no players suspended for the knockout stage.

Luiz Felipe Scolari has reported no new injuries for the round of 16, but has insisted that the side will have to improve to beat their South American rivals.

Brazil currently boast the tournament's joint top scorer, with Neymar having found the back of the net four times so far, leaving him level with Argentina's Lionel Messi.

Meanwhile, Chile proved the surprise package in Group B, progressing as runners-up behind the Netherlands in place of defending champions Spain, who finished third.

Like their opponents, Chile kept a clean disciplinary record during their group games to ensure that they have the full squad available to face Brazil.

No leading goalscorer has emerged for Chile yet, with Jean Beausejour, Alexis Sanchez and Eduardo Valdivia among those on the scoresheet so far.
