Brazil Preview
Brazil has chosen France as its training camp ahead of the Qatar 2022 World Cup in November, and it is also the country where it will play its pre-World Cup matches. The final list of players is very close and almost all the pieces have been defined, so these friendly matches are key to consolidating the idea of the game and its players.
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) decided that the teams to be played in this double date of friendlies would not be from Conmebol or Concacaf, so the chosen teams were African teams. Of course, it is a perfect fit for the preparation for the Group Stage, given that they will close their Group G campaign against Cameroon.
Going into the match on Friday, September 23, 2022, Technical Director Tite decided to put together a roster without Gabriel Jesús, Coutinho or Daniel Alves, although his top players, such as Neymar, Alisson, Vinícius, Casemiro or Marquinhos, will be present.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Alisson Becker; Éder Militao, Marquinhos, Thiago Silva and Alex Telles; Lucas Paquetá, Casemiro and Neymar; Raphinha, Vinicius Júnior and Richarlison.
Ghana Preview
The Black Stars are also preparing in Europe for the World Cup in Qatar, and in the last few hours coach Otto Addo received some great news: Iñaki Williams, forward of Athletic Bilbao in Spain’s LaLiga, joined the training camp in the run-up to the match.
This inclusion could call into question the usual attacking duo of brothers Jordan and Andre Ayew, given that the Basque team’s player is coming on strong this season (he is a permanent starter and has already scored two goals).
Probable lineup (4-1-2-2-1-2): Jo Wollacott; Denis Odoi, Daniel Amartey, Gideon Mensah, Rahman Baba; Idrissu Baba; Isaahaku Fatawu, Felix Afena-Gyan; Mohammed Kudus; and Jordan and Andre Ayew.
JefeBet Prediction
Brazil has just completed a formidable South American qualifiers, winning 14 games, drawing 3 and not losing. It is full of figures and shows a formidable performance.
It is very likely that they will win, and we are inclined to pick a favorite between Brazil vs Ghana; however, they will face a tough opponent, which could be a rival in the round of 16 (if Brazil finishes first in Group G, which includes Cameroon, Switzerland and Serbia, they will face the 2nd of Group H, made up of Portugal, Uruguay, Ghana and South Korea).
Prediction: Brazil wins 2-0.
