Our prediction for this match:
Brazil will look to recover from a shocking 2-1 loss to Morocco when they take on Guinea in yet another friendly on Saturday evening. The Selecao are eager to get back on course as soon as possible and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the African side. New boss Ramon Menezes can’t count on injured PSG ace Neymar (injury) for the RCDE Stadium clash, but the likes of Richarlison, Vinicius Junior, and Rodrygo are likely to make life difficult for the opposition back-line.
Guinea, on the other hand, recorded back-to-back wins over Ethiopia in the Africa Cup of Nations, but they will have a mountain to climb against the star-studded Brazilians. David faces Goliath in Cornella de Llobregat, meaning that anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. A man to watch in the away side will be Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita.
Highlighted Team (Brazil):
One of the most decorated teams in world football, Selecao have also been regarded as one of the most attractive and exciting teams with glowing reputation preceding them. Members of the CONMEBOL confederation, Brazil have played their first international in 1914 losing to bitter rivals Argentina with a comfortable 3-0 margin.
Brazil is the most successful nation in the FIFA World Cup with five championship title to their name. However, Selecao failed to advance past the quarter-finals of the last two tournaments last winning their World Cup in 2002. Their last title was the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the star-studded team will be looking to get back to winning ways at this year’s historic Copa America Centenario in the United States.
Legendary Pele is Brazil’s top scorer with 77 goals to his name, while the team’s biggest star of the modern era Barcelona forward Neymar is sitting in fifth place having so far netted 46.
