#2 Coutinho vs Kevin de Bruyne
Philippe Coutinho has been one of the standout players for the Brazilian team in this World Cup and has performed consistently for the Selecao in the World Cup. He is finally showing his class and capabilities on football's grandest stage because of which Barcelona purchased him from Liverpool.
In four games at the World Cup, Coutinho has scored two goals and assisted once; having the same figures as Neymar. His capability to score curling goals from outside the box make him a really difficult player to contain. The Belgian defence would have to be in full swing in order to keep him silent throughout the match.
Kevin de Bruyne has not been as effective as his other Belgian teammates so far in the tournament. However, everyone is aware of his creative abilities and he could be the boatman that ferries Belgium through to the quarterfinals.
KDB had a wonderful club season with Manchester City and topped the assists chart with 16 assists in the season. He is one of the vital players in the Belgium line-up and if he sparks to life, he can cause mayhem against Brazil.
