After a disappointing World Cup campaign by their standards, Brazil will be looking to kick-start their rebuilding process as they play against 2022 World Cup surprise package and semi-finalists Morocco in a friendly international.
Form Guide
Brazil are probably the best team in the world and number 1 on the FIFA World rankings. While they generally dominate in most matches, they lack the killer instinct in key tournament games. That is something that they will look to resolve going forward.
The Selecao’s last game was their defeat on penalties against Croatia in the quarter-final of the World Cup. However, they have lost just one out of their last 20 games and the defeat was in a 1-0 World Cup group stage loss to Cameroon.
Morocco will be looking to retain the positivity following their heroics in the World Cup. However, their fringe players experienced three losses in the recent African Nations Championship which proves that they need to focus heavily on a good succession plan if they want to emulate their heroics from 2022 in the 2026 World Cup and beyond.

Anytime Goal Scorers
Morocco-Youssef En-Nesyri- He may not be a prolific scorer but the number nine has plenty of confidence and will fancy his chances of scoring against Brazil. He boasts 17 international goals from 57 appearances.
Brazil-Vinicius Junior- The Real Madrid star is prolific at club level but has yet to transfer that form to the international stage with just two goals after 20 games. He can change that from this game onwards.
