It has been a busy week off the field for Brazil, as the nation are growing close to appointing Carlo Ancelotti as their head coach. However, the attention turns back to the pitch on Tuesday, as the Brazilians take on Senegal in Portugal.
International Friendly Preview
A huge international cycle for Brazil kicks off on Tuesday, as the national side take to the field for their final international fixture of the 2022-23 season. It looks set to be a massive 12-month period for the team, as they compete in the Copa America next summer, before all attention then switches to the upcoming World Cup across North and Central America.
The Brazilian FA will be hopeful that Ancelotti’s appointment will be confirmed before the end of the summer, meaning that Ramon Menezes continues on an interim basis for this showdown against Senegal this week. Brazil produced one of their best displays since the World Cup in their previous match, as they landed a 4-1 win over Guinea. Debutant Joelinton was among the scorers in that success, while Real Madrid trio Rodrygo, Eder Militao, and Vinicius Jr also found the net.
The pressure is always on Brazil when they take to the field, but the next 12 months is also a huge period for Senegal. The nation have already secured their spot in next year’s Africa Cup of Nations, and the previous champions will be among the leading contenders to win the prestigious honour once again.
They come into this match having gone seven without defeat, which includes a draw in their previous outing against Benin. But, their record against nations inside the top ten of the FIFA Rankings would be a huge concern ahead of this friendly.
Brazil vs Senegal Head to Head
This is only the second international fixture between these two sides, with the previous encounter coming back in October 2019. The only previous clash between the sides ended in a 1-1 draw, with Roberto Firmino finding the net for Brazil.
Brazil vs Senegal Prediction
This should be an exciting international fixture in Portugal, but we find it challenging to overlook Brazil following their return to form. We expect to see a familiar performance on Tuesday, and we expect the Brazilians to put on a show for the fans in attendance with a 3-0 success.
