This match has all the airs of a blockbuster. Its outcome will determine not just the winners of Group B, but the fate of some title favourites too. The runner-up of Group B will meet the winners of Group A, in all likelihood, Brazil. So, Chile needs a win to avoid the Brazil clash, while the Netherlands just requires a draw, thanks to their superior goal difference.

Netherlands-Chile Preview

The Netherlands and Chile were two of the few top-performing teams in World Cup 2014. Their performance was so impressive that even the Brazilian fans and players will be anxiously watching this match.

The Netherlands have become the specialists of quick fire counter attacks. They were at their scintillating best in the second half against Spain. But in the first half of their second game, against Australia, all their defensive frailties were on display.

It is these defensive weaknesses that Chile will be looking forward to exploit. Chile on their part has become the flag-bearers of conventional brand of Latin American soccer. They do not possess the attacking prowess of the Dutch, but they make up for it with all-round soccer skills and team spirit.

Players

The big news is that the Netherlands will miss their prolific skipper Robin van Persie, as he received his second yellow card in the match against Australia. They have two capable replacements on the bench: Memphis Depay and Klaas Jan Huntelaar. And Arjen Robben’s pace is a menace to any defence.

Chile might rest both their playmakers, Arturo Vidal and Charles Aranguiz, who are nursing minor injuries.

Netherlands-Chile Prediction

All three results have equal probability.
