Brazil vs Senegal prediction: WORLD: Friendly International betting tips on match 2025-11-14 16:00.
[p]In-form Senegal will be looking to make a huge statement by beating an inconsistent Brazil in a weekend friendly at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Brazil sealed qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 1-0 win over Paraguay in June, but their campaign was pretty unconvincing overall as they finished fifth (W8, D4, L6), with their stuttering form leading to the sacking of manager Dorival Júnior in March. The Seleção have not yet fully turned a corner under new head coach Carlo Ancelotti (W3, D1, L2), highlighted by defeats in their last three internationals to Bolivia (1-0) and Japan (3-2), either side of a 5-0 thrashing of South Korea. The loss to Japan was particularly chastening as they had led 2-0 at half-time.[/p]
[p]Senegal are flying under Pape Thiaw, having won each of their last five internationals. They amassed a total of 15 goals and three clean sheets in that sequence as the Lions of Teranga stormed their way to a third successive World Cup and won third place at the 2024 African Nations Championship. Their last visit to England was a very happy one, as they stunningly came from behind to beat England 3-1 at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground in June, so they will now be aiming to go four games without defeat against non-African countries (W2, D1) since losing to England at the 2022 World Cup.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Senegal have the upper hand in this H2H (W1, D1), with the most recent of those encounters in 2023 seeing them start their unbeaten sequence against non-African sides with a 4-2 win over Brazil. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Only one of Brazil’s last six internationals saw both teams score. [/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]

Sadio Mané’s three goals since the start of October have all been for Senegal, with each of those strikes arriving between the 40th and 50th minutes. [/p]
[p]Brazil goalkeeper Hugo Souza was forced to withdraw from this squad due to injury, with John Victor taking his place. Senegal are without Habib Diarra and Krepin Diatta. [/p]
