Our prediction for this match:
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Wembley Stadium when England and Brazil face each other in a football spectacle on Saturday evening. England cruised past their opponents in Group C to secure their spot at the 2024 European Championship finals and, no doubt, they have big ambitions for the upcoming showpiece tournament in Germany. All Ezri Konsa, Anthony Gordon, and Jarrad Branthwaite are in line to make their England debuts, while Arsenal defender Ben White has withdrawn from the squad.
New Brazil boss Dorival Junior, on the other hand, can’t count on injured Man Utd midfielder Casemiro, but West Ham ace Lucas Paqueta has overcome his injury. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as Brazil start attackers Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior, and Richarlison all made the cut. Porto midfielder Pepe Aquino has replaced aforementioned midfielder Casemiro in the Selecao squad for the March friendly matches.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
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.
