Hosts have more wins

Brazil against Germany in Belo Horizonte will be the 22nd meeting between the sides. The Selecao have won 12 matches from 21, while the Germans have won only four. In the first two games, Pele was the match-winner, before Germany worked up to wins in 1986 and 1993. They have been largely free-scoring events, which goes against the round of 16 trend at the 2014 finals.
