In the match of the first round of the group stage at the Qatar World Cup in Lusail, Brazil will face Serbia.
BrazilTite's team did not have time to train properly and hold at least one control meeting before the start of the World Cup in Qatar due to the late training camp.
At the same time, since the end of March, Brazil has been showing very high-quality football and smashing its rivals without much difficulty. The only exception was the summer match in Tokyo against Japan, in this friendly match the Brazilians limited themselves to a minimal victory. In the 77th minute, Neymar sent the ball into the opponent's goal from the penalty spot.
Brazilians have beaten Bolivia (4:0), South Korea (5:1), Ghana (3:0) and Tunisia (5:1) over the past matches.
SerbiaBut the team of Dragan Stojkovic managed to hold one friendly match before the start of the World Cup. On November 18, Serbia in Bahrain won a crushing victory over the local national team with a score of 5:
1. Dusan Tadic opened the score in the eighth minute. At the same time, after that, the Serbs somehow relaxed and in the 15th minute Bahrain was able to earn a penalty, which was successfully implemented. The teams went to the break with an equal score, but in the second half Stojkovic's team noticeably increased and showed its strength in attack. In the 50th minute, Dusan Tadic scored the second goal in this match, and Dusan Vlahovic assisted him. Vlahovich himself scored in the 51st minute, and Dusan Tadic assisted him. Then the coaches of both teams made a number of substitutions, which calmed the game. But, at the very end of the match, the Serbs scored two more goals. In the 87th minute, Filip Djuricic sent the ball into the opponent's goal from Filip Mladenovic's pass. And in the 89th minute, Luka Jovic put the "point" in the match, assisted by Dusan Vlahovich.
Serbia and Brazil last played at the World Cup in Russia in 2018. Then Brazil was stronger with a score of 2:0.
ForecastIn this match, Brazil, of course, is considered by the bookmakers to be a pretty clear favorite.
At the same time, if Serbia does not press too hard to its goal, it may well surprise the team of Tite. We suggest that you bet more than 2.5 goals on the total.
