Brazil vs Croatia, Mexico vs Cameroon Prediction.

As we (Nepal) are ahead of western time (having standard time of GMT+5:45), which is 8:45 hours ahead of Brazilian time, It is on June 13 (Jestha 30) here in our country that the very first game of the Wo http://profsmythe.blogspot.com /2014/05/world-cup-football-2014-schedule-in.html">rld cup 2014 kicks off with the host Brazil take on underdog Croatia. Though it seems vary rare that Croatia wins over the host Brazil, they will not leave any stone unturned to shock the host. Record has it that the host does not always start good with such immense pressure, and the nerve racking uproar can make best of Brazil to outperform or perform least. Neymar who is seen as the contender for the Golden boot, will definitely try to beat Croatia's inept defense and will score at least one. Croatia will suffer much in this match as his key player Mario Mandžukić (Bayern Munich forward) is suspended for this match due to the red card in the match against Iceland. Big pressure mounts on midfielder Luka Modric in this match. Lets see how will the underdogs play against this "favorite" team on paper.
I always love predictions and as I look back, I happen to cover some of the exciting events, like the http://profsmythe.blogspot.com /2012/01/oscar-2012-prediction.html" style="background-color: yellow;">Oscar awards,  http://profsmythe.blogspot.com /2012/12/golden-globe-2013-nomination-list-and.html">Golden Globe to http://profsmythe.blogspot.com /2012/06/spain-vs-italy-prediction-euro-cup.html" style="background-color: #ea9999;">Euro Cup 2012 to the http://profsmythe.blogspot.com /2013/11/my-prediction-of-ca-2-result-in.html" style="background-color: #f6b26b;">Constituent Assembly election 2 in my blog. I was also the winner for the World cup 2006 predict and win contest held during my lecturing at Kathmandu Engineering College. This time, we are organizing a similar type of predict and win contest at office for FIFA world cup 2014. Administering the management of the contest and similar workload at office, I may not be able to post such predictions for every match but I will try to include the key matches. The reason: Like I already said-> I love predicting.

Here is my prediction for both the matches of Group A.

Brazil vs Croatia.

Where: Sao Paolo and in your TV/ Computer (just for fun!!).

When: Jestha 30 1:45 am (June 13).

Prediction: Brazil 2 Croatia 0

Head to head: Brazil had met Croatia two times before, in which Brazil won once, and another ended in a draw.

Mexico Vs Cameroon.

Where: Estadio Das Dunas, Natal

When: Jestha 30, 9:45 pm

Prediction: Cameroon 1 Mexico 0.

Head to head: Just 1, won by Mexico.

Disclaimer: As more of my intuition came into play for this prediction (with some football pundits remarks), do not blindly use this for betting. Also I may not predict the same in the Predict and win contest happening in my office.
