Both teams have been almost certain ti qualify. The only battle would be to win the group in order to avoid Spain next round. Although Spain has not confirmed themselves as group winner, the fact remain that their match against Chile would be a do-or-die match. If then win, they would be almost certain to top the group unless Switzerland can beat Honduras by 3 goals and above. If they draw or even lose the match, they would probably be eliminated as Switzerland should have no problem to beat Honduras. Therefore Portugal would have to beat Brazil in order not to face Spain. It would be very interesting to see whether Brazil could create great chances without Kaka and can their appeared to be solid defence can cope with speedy and skillful Portuguese. I will go for a Portuguese win.
Man to watch (Brazil): Luis Fabiano
The striker has found his scoring form against Ivory Coast. His performance would determine the outcome of this tie.
Man to watch (Portugal): Ricardo Carvalho
The experienced center back has been pretty good so far. He need another good performance to stop Robinho and Fabiano.
Prediction: Portugal to win 2-1
