After limping to two scoreless draws in their first two matches against South Africa and Iraq, the hosts and tournament favorites finally turned on the style by drubbing Denmark, 4-0, in their final group game.<\/p>\n<p>They successfully carried over that fine form to the quarterfinals, as they ousted South American neighbors Colombia, 2-0. Superstar striker Neymar, who was relatively silent in their first couple games, finally came good with a brilliant free kick to give his team the lead.<\/p>\n<p>With the two Gabriels (Barbosa and Jesus), Neymar, and Luan, who has scored in each of the last two games, the Brazilians easily have the superior firepower over Honduras. The Hondurans also don\u2019t have the greatest defense, so Brazil should at the very least get some decent opportunities in front of goal.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Brazilian defense will be a formidable unit to crack. The hosts have yet to allow a single goal in four matches thus far.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on Honduras (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/soccer\/olympic-men\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>+865<\/strong><\/a>)<\/h3>\n<p>Honduras has done it again. The small Caribbean country was a surprise quarterfinalist in the 2012 Olympics, and it\u2019s now a surprise semifinalist in this year\u2019s games after edging out South Korea, 1-0, in the quarters. A lone goal from Elis \u2013 his second goal of the tournament \u2013 was enough to see them through.<\/p>\n<p>The Hondurans have a handy habit of getting ahead. They\u2019ve scored the first goal in all four of their games thus far. However, they couldn\u2019t hold onto a first-minute lead in their match against Portugal as they fell to a 2-1 defeat. They also gave up a heart-breaking stoppage time equalizer against Argentina which forced a 1-1 draw.<\/p>\n<p>Their defense is a bit of an issue in this respect. Their willingness to go out and attack often exposes that back line. But they dialed their aggressiveness down a bit against a very dangerous South Korean attack, which helped them get their first clean sheet of the tournament. Expect them to adopt a similarly cautious approach in order to avoid getting caught out by the in-form Brazilians.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer&#8217;s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Brazil ends Honduras&#8217; Cinderella run as the hosts\u00a0run out\u00a03-0\u00a0winners.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/44\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\">Create a betting account now<\/a> and get into the Olympic spirit by wagering on some men&#8217;s Olympic soccer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/record.tbaffiliate.com\/_y8k7RB3Ll4xutv7iXV6HvmNd7ZgqdRLk\/44\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-114101 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2016-Summer-Olympics-News-Banners-620x110-V1.gif\" alt=\"2016-Summer-Olympics---News-Banners-620x110-V1\" width=\"620\" height=\"110\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"116399\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,436&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brazil vs. Honduras Men&#8217;s Soccer\u00a0Preview Where: Maracan\u00e3 Stadium \u2013 Rio De Janeiro, Brazil When:\u00a0Wednesday, August 17, 12:00 PM ET Line: Brazil -455 vs. Honduras +865, tie +435; total 2.5\u00a0\u2013 view<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"pvc_stats all \" data-element-id=\"116399\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> &nbsp;3,436&nbsp;total views, &nbsp;2&nbsp;views today<\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":116733,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[15362,393,263],"tags":[16235,16236,16246,16237,277,17019,17020,1545,16244,17021,17022,16659,16660,16661,16662,1156,1116],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.4 -
