The last time Germany met Brazil in the World Cup it was humiliating for the Brazilians. The Germans crushed the home nation 7-1 in the 2014 semifinals. It’s been a long four years, but according to the latest 2018 World Cup odds at bet365 (as of May 30), Brazil has a chance to avenge the embarrassing defeat.
Brazil is favored to capture their sixth Jules Rimet trophy at 4/1 with Germany right behind them at 9/2. In addition, the teams are both favored to reach the final at 9/4 followed by France at 11/4 and Spain 10/3.
