It’s time for another international break as the countdown to this summer’s UEFA Euro 2024 tournament truly begins across the continent. Some nations are gearing up for a big run, whereas others didn’t make the cut and simply want to rebuild ahead of World Cup qualifying. Today, we’ll be taking a look at what should be a pretty entertaining encounter between England and Brazil.
England Form GuideEngland fans are desperate to get their hands on a piece of silverware and after falling short at the World Cup, they’ll hope they can get the job done when they head to Germany next summer - but the Three Lions often seem cursed at the elite level. Gareth Southgate is being given the chance to lead them forward once again but if they can’t pull it off this time, serious questions will need to be asked.
After a 1-1 draw with Ukraine, England proceeded to pick up four straight wins over Scotland, Australia, Italy and Malta. Then, on the road to North Macedonia, they drew 1-1. It hasn’t been overwhelmingly convincing in recent times, but they still look steady enough.
Brazil Form GuideThey say that football was perfected in Brazil and who are we to argue with that? They are one of the greatest footballing nations of all time, but as we look ahead to the future, many wonder whether they’ve got what it takes to make another push for the World Cup title with this current squad. Regardless of which way you look at it, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done in the months and years ahead.
Ever since beating Bolivia and Peru in a space of just four days, Brazil have really struggled in pretty much every way. They were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Venezuela and following that, they lost three straight games courtesy of Uruguay, Colombia and bitter rivals Argentina.
Match PredictionBrazil are going to give as good as they get in this one because of course they are. We expect this to be a really tight, tense affair but to be perfectly honest, we don’t think the Three Lions have anything to fear. Therefore, we’re going to predict an England victory.
