Brazil are yet to hit their stride going forward but have looked solid and extremely difficult to beat over their four matches. That will be put to the test when they face the tournament's topscorers on Friday night.
Belgium came dangerously close to a humilating round of 16 exit at the hands of Japan on Monday night, coming from 2-0 down to win 3-2 courtesy of a Nacer Chadli injury-time winner.
Brazil will not let Belgium back in the game like Japan, so it's imperative that Roberto Martinez's side improve before their mouthwatering clash with the Seleção.
Which nation actually has the better players? That's a tough one to answer, but Brazil are certainly the better collective. I think Roberto Firmino has to start and Gabriel Jesus has to be rested as he's struggling in the shadow of Neymar, while Firmino brings more link up play. Kevin De Bruyne hasn't really threatened on the ball as he's playing the Manchester City role without the same possession dominance. Roberto Martinez will know they have to have a go at Brazil so I can see a high-scoring affair.
Brazil have only conceded one goal at this World Cup and have not been behind in a game.
Belgium have a similar attacking outlook, but have been a lot more open.
I don't think that will be a good idea against Brazil, but I am not sure what else Belgium manager Roberto Martinez will do.
The way the Red Devils came from 2-0 down to beat Japan 3-2 in the last 16 was obviously a good thing, but I think the fact they went behind in the first place shows why they are not going to win the tournament.
