Maybe the best matchup so far in sports betting to make a 2010 World Cup bet on will take place on Friday in the quarterfinals when the Netherlands battles Brazil.

The brackets set up in sports wagering quite well for the victor of this game to be playing in the final. In this game that can be seen on ESPN, Brazil is a solid fave in World Cup betting vs the Netherlands.

Brazil is a -260 fave with the total at 2.5 under -140. The three-way line has Brazil at -120, the Netherlands at +300 and the Draw at +335. Neither the Netherlands nor Brazil has honestly been tested so far in the World Cup so this game will be intriguing. Brazil had no trouble in their group stage with North Korea, Ivory Coast or Portugal. The game versus Portugal was meaningless so neither squad did much in a scores draw. Brazil defeated Chile 3-0 in the round of 16 and now they get a real test versus the Netherlands. The Netherlands took care of Japan, Denmark and Cameroon in their group and then dominated Slovakia in the round of 16.

The Netherlands have some competitors that might give Brazil some trouble. They have Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie, Wesley Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt but they have history versus them. Brazil has never lost a game under Dunga when both Kaka and Robinho have played together. Brazil's goalie is deemed one of the best on the planet and their defense is as good as any team's. Brazil and the Netherlands have a history in the World Cup and the Netherlands hasn't fared well. Brazil won in 1994 by a score of 3-2 and went on to win the title. Four years later in France, after the squads even 1-1 in regulation, Brazil won 4-2 on penalties. They also met in 1974 when the Netherlands won 2-0.

The Holland have concluded second twice, in 1974 and in 1978, though they have never won a World Cup. This might be the best squad they have ever had. The issue for the Netherlands is that Brazil has more skill. The Netherlands would be liked versus practically any squad in the World Cup but not versus Brazil. The Netherlands have permitted just two penalties, and their defense has been superb so far in the World Cup. That defense will be seriously tested though versus the playmakers that Brazil offers.

The game often comes down to the goalie when two strong squads meet. The Netherlands has Maarten Stekelenburg who made some major saves in the victory over Slovakia while Brazil has Julio Cesar. There is no question that Cesar has the better credentials but there's nevertheless some worry about his back injury. On July second, he wounded his back in a warmup game vs Zimbabwe. He missed lots of practice but he has been solid in the World Cup, allowing only two goals. If this match comes down to penalty kicks it might be Cesar who's the difference for Brazil.
