With such an incredible record, the Soccerbot now looks towards Brazil vs Australia match. It seems like Australia will be the more desperate team to win the game on Thursday afternoon after they failed to score a point against Italy. They will also leave without any points if they fail to defeat Brazil. Australia’s only opportunity to advance to the knockout stages is by defeating Jamaica, depending on what happens during the match between Jamaica and Italy.
With all the information the Soccerbot gathers, it looks like its leaning towards Australia to win the match. Although Brazil is more experienced in the field, the national team from Australia will want to be victorious, and that means more trouble for Brazil.
