Brazil begins its quest for its sixth World Cup title on Monday against Mexico. The two teams will meet in Samara Arena at 10 a.m. ET with a chance to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup on the line. Brazil enters Monday's match as -200 money line favorites, meaning you'd need to bet $200 on a Brazilian victory to win $100. Mexico enters this Round of 16 contest at +650 (wager $100 to win $650), while a draw in regulation is at +315. The over-under on total goals scored in this 2018 World Cup fixture is 2.5. Brazil is 3-1 to win the entire tournament, while Mexico is listed at 30-1 World Cup odds to win.

Before you lock in your 2018 World Cup picks, you need to see what European football expert David Sumpter has to say. Sumpter is an applied mathematician who wrote "Soccermatics," a book that explains how math works inside the sport. Along with other experienced analysts, Sumpter developed the powerful Soccerbot model.

The Soccerbot reads current odds and all team performance data, calculates key metrics and predicts upcoming matches. In nearly three seasons since its inception, the Soccerbot is up an incredible 1,800 percent on bookmakers' closing odds.

The Soccerbot has already nailed draws for Argentina-Iceland (+385) and Brazil-Switzerland (+360). It also correctly predicted Spain and Russia would play to a draw in regulation on Saturday (+280), just to name a few of its big calls. Anyone who has followed it is way up.

Now, the Soccerbot has crunched the numbers and broken down every single angle of Brazil vs. Mexico. The model has released a very strong money-line pick, which it's sharing only over at SportsLine.

The model knows Brazil and Mexico are the only two teams to advance past the group stage in seven consecutive World Cups.

Mexico opened its 2018 World Cup campaign with a shocking defeat of defending champion Germany. El Tri went on to win its second group game against South Korea and needed just a point in its final group match against Sweden to win Group F. However, Mexico was throttled 3-0 by Sweden to set up the Round of 16 clash against 2018 World Cup favorites Brazil.

And this isn't the first time Mexico and Brazil have faced off at a World Cup. Mexico held Brazil to a scoreless draw on Brazilian soil at the last World Cup. This time around, El Tri will have to stop Brazil's potent attack without defender Hector Moreno, who will sit out with a yellow-card suspension.

Brazil, meanwhile, advanced past the group stage of the World Cup for the 13th consecutive time. And Brazil enters Monday's match against Mexico having won 19 of its 24 matches under manager Tite.
