Brazil vs Serbia Analysis

Brazil

Brazil has been a well-oiled machine this year, winning six of their seven fixtures by an average of 3.33 goals. Serbia presents somewhat of a challenge, but conventional wisdom suggests A Selecao should win their group while taking all nine points available. They’ve got a world class keeper in Alisson, and forwards such as Neymar, Vinicius, and Gabriel Jesus have been in elite form for their club sides this season. Tite’s squad is well-placed as the top favourite to win the whole tournament with 5.5 odds.

Key Players: Neymar (top scorer in Ligue 1 with 8 goals in 8 games), Gabriel Jesus (2nd in EPL with 7 goal contributions)

Team News: Bruno Guimaraes has picked up a thigh injury and his availability for the World Cup is in question; defender Alex Sandro has been dealing with a calf injury and was unable to compete in Brazil’s most recent spate of friendlies.

Predicted Lineups: 4-3-3 – GK: Alisson DF: Alex Telles, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Eder Militao MF: Casemiro, Neymar, Lucas Paqueta FW: Vinicius Junior, Richarlison, Gabriel Jesus

Serbia

Serbia has been in impressive form over the past year or so, going undefeated in 9 of their last 12 official fixtures. They have a great chance to win passage to the knockout round, but if they do accomplish that, they’ll do so behind Brazil. Aleksandar Mitrovic will lead the line and has been on fire to start the current Premier League campaign, netting 6 goals in the first 7 games.

Key Players: Aleksandar Mitrovic (2nd in EPL with 6 goals in 7 games), Dusan Vlahovic (4 goals in 6 games for Juventus this season)

Team News: No recent news.

Predicted Lineups: Lineup for most recent official friendly: 3-5-2 – GK: Vanja Milinkovic DF: Erhan Masovic, Srdjan Babic, Stefan Mitrovic, MF: Filip Kostic, Sergej Milinkovic, Dusan Tadic, Sasa Lukic, Andrija Zivkovic FW: Aleksandar Mitrovic, Dusan Vlahovic

Brazil vs Serbia Prediction

Both of these sides have been in fine form in 2022 in the leadup to the World Cup, but whereas Serbia is a threat to make the knockout stages, Brazil is a threat to win the entire tournament. Serbia should put up a fight, but A Selecao will doubtless be the squad that comes out on top in this match.
