World Cup Opta Stats: Brazil v Holland

Can Brazil recover from their humiliation against Germany when they face Holland?

Having suffered very different versions of semi-final heartbreak, Brazil and Holland will try to bounce back and grab third place. Opta are on hand with the vital statistics.

This will be the 12th clash between Brazil and the Netherlands (W3, D5, L3) and the fifth in World Cup finals. The draw is priced at 3.9n/a.

In World Cups, the Dutchmen have won twice, most recently in the 2010 quarter-finals (2-1). Holland are 3.412/5 to win within 90 minutes.

Brazil managed to win once (1994), plus a penalty shoot-out 1998 (4-2). Brazil are 2.26/5 to win in normal time.

The Dutchmen had scored 12 goals in their opening four games but failed to find the net in both the quarter-final and the semi-final, despite both matches going to extra-time. Under 2.5 goals is available at 2.56/4.

The Netherlands have lost five of seven penalty shoot-outs in World Cups and European Championships. Brazil are 13.012/1 to win on penalties.

Brazil have conceded the most goals in the current World Cup campaign (11). The last time they conceded 11 was in 1938 and they've never conceded more than 11. Over 2.5 goals is 1.654/6.

10 of the Netherlands' 12 goals in this tournament have come after half-time; the last four have come after the 75th minute. The odds of the second-half containing more goals than the first are 2.0621/20.

In the semi-final, the Dutchmen attempted just seven shots (incl blocked) in 120 minutes - in all of their previous World Cup matches since 1966, they had managed at least 10 shots. Brazil are 3.8514/5 to keep a clean sheet.

While Netherlands had just one shot on target in the semi-final, Brazil had eight in the 7-1 loss versus Germany. Brazil are 1.645/8 to finish in third place.

Only Karim Benzema (15) has had more shots on target than Robin van Persie (10) in this World Cup; but the Dutchman is yet to score in the knockout stages. Van Persie is 2.89/5 to break his duck.
