Ukraine vs Brazil Futsal World Cup Predictions

Who will advance to the championship match in the Futsal World Cup semifinals? Brazil and Ukraine's national teams will square off in the first semifinal encounter. The "Humo Arena" will host the contest in Tashkent on October 2. But analysts don't think there will be much excitement. The Brazilians have breezed to point, thus making them clear favorites. As a result, not many believe the Ukrainians can defeat them.

Head-to-Head

There have been two meetings in the teams' head-to-head history. Brazil won the first one 3-1 at the 2016 World Cup and the second one earlier this year in April. The South Americans also won the friendly encounter, this time by a score of 7-2.

Ukraine

Already, this World Cup has been a massive success for the Ukrainians. This was their first trip to the semifinals since Oleksandr Kosenko was a player for the club in 1996. The "yellow-blues" from Uzbekistan breezed through the group stage, shedding points only in their 1-7 loss to Argentina. They cruised past the Netherlands (3-1) and Venezuela (9-4) in quick succession in the playoffs. These triumphs were attained with elegance.

Brazil

Only Brazil has absolutely no doubts. They averaged almost five goals each game and annihilated their opponents until the quarterfinals. Morocco was the only team that found a way to limit the "yellow-greens," they even lost by a respectable 1-3. The contest lacked excitement because they scored after the scoreboard read 0-3. Notably, Marcel is now leading the scoring race with 10 goals scored in this World Cup.

Our Predictions

1 Handicap point @ 1.55 on Sky247.ng

In their role as number two, the Ukrainians will aim to limit the Brazilians' field space by playing smartly. However, we think that they will fail. In the last minutes of the contest, the team trained by Marquinhos Xavier will likely have scored more goals than their opponent, which will cause them to bench a fifth player. This happened in the match against Argentina, and the "yellow-blues" won handily; something similar may happen again. Thus, we recommend Brazil to win with a handicap of 1 point as a crucial wager. With complete certainty, we anticipate that the favorite will book their place in the World Cup final.
