Preview

A goal fest seems in the offing when Brazil meet Portugal. Both teams are proud practitioners of attractive and expansive football.

Their respective attack-first philosophies have lit up this tournament so far. The mantra to get forward and create comes from the men at the top.

FIFA's official site notes how the search for goals is an obligation for the Brazilians: "Brazil coach Rogerio Micale has spoken of 'a concept of football... looking to score every time we have the ball' and the stats bear that out, with his team having attempted a tournament-high 101 shots."

Meanwhile, the same source indicates how the Portuguese remain faithful to a similar approach: "Helio Sousa's side have also proved a potent attacking force at this competition, having scored an average of three goals per game in their four outings thus far."

Even in a match with the stakes this high, don't expect either side to resort to cautious pragmatism. There's simply too much attacking talent on display.

In particular, Cruzeiro striker Judivan could be a real thorn in Portugal's side. So could Manchester United midfield gem Andreas Pereira. This double act should be the key to Brazil's chances.

Do Mali have one more shock left? That's the big question ahead of their clash with Germany. The last 16 saw the African side see off well-respected Ghana.

Striker Dieudonne Gbakle and defender Aboubacar Doumbia both helped themselves to spectacular goals, according to BBC Sport. Check out the strikes via the tournament's official YouTube channel:

But the Germans will surely provide a much tougher test. The player to watch for the Europeans is Bayer 04 Leverkusen attacking midfielder Julian Brandt. He's an outrageously gifted 19-year-old, blessed with breathtaking pace, along with exceptional technique and close control.

Brandt is the jewel of a classy team, but he's certainly amply supported by several mercurial attackers. Chief among them is stylish No. 10 Marc Stendera.

Another attacking midfielder who plies his trade on home soil in Germany's Bundesliga, the Eintracht Frankfurt teenager possesses superb vision and a natural flair for playing between the lines.

With creators as good as Brandt and Stendera supplying him, fellow midfielder Hany Mukhtar has been in dominant form. A player who specialises in brilliantly timed late runs into the box, Benfica ace Mukhtar has already netted four goals at the tournament, putting him on a par with 19-year-old Stendera.

The Germans are the highest scorers in New Zealand and will have just too much firepower for a defiant Mali.

One of the more intriguing quarter-final matches pits the USA against Serbia. The Americans have dazzled in the tournament so far, thanks largely to the eye-catching displays of precocious Arsenal midfielder Gedion Zelalem.

A slight but committed 18-year-old pass master, Zelalem's performances have many tipping him to soon make the grade as a first-teamer with the Gunners. After USA's 1-0 win over Colombia, Metro writer Tom Olver dubbed the teenage playmaker a "star of the future for the north London club."

Zelalem will again be the key man when coach Tab Ramos' group aim for the last four. But that won't be easy against Veljko Paunovic's physically imposing and technically assured Serbia.

The Serbs have been beaten just once at this year's tournament. They've become very adept at establishing and maintaining a solid defensive shape.

If they can frustrate the U.S., Paunovic's boys have the guile in forward areas, particularly in the form of attacking midfielder Andrija Zivkovic, to snatch a goal and key a shock result.

Speaking of shocks, few would have predicted Uzbekistan meeting Senegal in a quarter-final. Yet both nations have more than merited their progress to the last eight.

It took penalties for the latter to overcome Ukraine in dramatic fashion. Meanwhile, Uzbekistan went from bottom to second after thrashing Group F whipping boys Fiji, per FIFA.com.

But they'll miss the suspended Dostonbek Khamdamov, the two-goal hero of their last-16 win over Austria. 

Goals have been easy to come for Uzbekistan, with eight in four matches. But they've also conceded seven, offering a real ray of hope for Senegal.

Expect the heavy hitters to make it through, with Brazil, Germany and the USA all doing just enough to advance.
