The Brazilian national team has one good tradition – every four years to participate in the next World Cup.
To date, there is no team more successful than the Brazilians. Five-time world champions each time come only for victory. Qatar will not be an exception, especially since the national team has not become a world champion for 20 years. For the yellow-greens, this is a serious break.Participation in the tournament, the Brazilians will start from group G. Brazil’s rivals in the group were: Serbia, Switzerland and Cameroon. The composition of this group almost completely repeats the quartet of the 2018 championship in Russia. Then in place of Cameroon was Costa Rica. This coincidence provides an advantage in predicting the outcome of the exit from the group, since these teams have already met several years ago.
At the 22nd World Cup, the Brazilian national team will be led by head coach Adenor Leonardo Bakshi, better known as Tite. Bakshi’s football career ended at the age of 28. The reason was a serious knee injury, due to which, Tite still cannot fully bend his leg. Since 1990, his coaching career began. The former midfielder turned out to be a talented coach and in 2016 led the main Brazilian national team.
The main titles of the Brazilian national team
Brazil is the most titled national team.
Brazilians have been world champions five times: in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.
The team is a multiple winner of the America’s Cup, from 1919 to 2019 – 9 times and a four-time winner of the Confederations Cup.
There was gold at the Olympic Games: 2016, 2020.
The Brazilian team also has a large number of silver and bronze medals.
Interesting Brazilian Football Facts
For the first time, the Brazilian national team was formed in 1914, at the same time the team played its first match against the Exeter City football club, the results of which are disputed to this day.
The reputation of the Brazilians was seriously tarnished on July 8, 2014. On that day, the semi-final match of the 20th FIFA World Cup took place against the German national team. Already in the first 30 minutes of the match, Brazil managed to concede seven goals. The match ended with a score of 1:7 and became the biggest defeat in the history of the national team.
Predictions and bets for Brazil
At the beginning of the championship, BC Fonbet predicts the victory of Brazil in the tournament, and gives a coefficient of 5.50. France can compete with the Brazilians, their coefficient is 7.20.
The number of bets in favor of the yellow-greens could have been influenced by the confident exit of the Brazilians from the qualifying group.
Tite also stirs up interest in his team. The head coach of the yellow-greens told reporters that he had enough time to fully prepare the team for the championship.
Football analysts and fans agree that Brazil will easily advance from the group from 1st place.
How will Brazil perform in the playoffs?
In the history of Brazil, there have been World Cups in which the yellow-greens failed to reach the playoffs. The Brazilians experienced the last difficulties with leaving the group in 1966 at the World Cup in England.
To date, the exit of the team in the playoffs is not even discussed. It is hard to imagine what should prevent the yellow-greens from taking first place in their group.
At the stage of the 1/8 finals, the Brazilians can meet with the team that took second place in group H. According to Fonbet bookmakers, this could be the national team of Uruguay or Portugal. The first place in group H, with a coefficient of 1.67, is given by Fonbet to Portugal, followed by Uruguay – 3.10. In this scenario, the Brazilians should easily defeat Uruguay and go to the quarterfinals.
For September 2022, Fonbet assesses the chances of Brazil:
reaching the quarterfinals, with a coefficient of 1.32;
reaching the semi-finals of the championship – 1.90.
The bookmakers are very optimistic about Brazil’s success in Qatar. However, do not forget that the world championships have already presented surprises more than once.
