Have put a significant amount on Mexico to take out Brazil. I played them on the pick'em line (tie game means refunded wager) at -130. Here is some info on the game.
This game will be played at the Azteca Stadium (In Mexico) where a sell out is expected. I am not 100% sure on the capacity but I believe the stadium holds at least 80000 if not more. Needless to say it will be a huge boost for the Mexican team. Mexico rarely loses at the Azteca and has an outstanding record when they play there. Sorry I don't have the exact numbers but it is quite ridiculous. Part of the reason is because of the high altitude. Teams wear down in the 2nd half. This factor is huge. The Brazilian coach has said publicly his team is extremely tired and is very concerned about this matchup. The Brazilians played at the Azteca in their last game where they took out USA 2-1 in extra time. After the game a lot of the players declined to talk with the media because they were too tired.
Keep in mind that this Brazil team is basically an U23 team and does not have a lot of experience. Against a home nation with massive support and the high altitude I think Mexico should be a considerable fav.
I have seen lines of +130 to +140 for Mexico to win outright. Mexico does not have the greatest offense in the world and a draw is always possible in soccer. That is why I would recommend taking Mexico at a pick'em instead if you can.
Good Luck
