France and Croatia up next! Share your predictions for Brazil 🔮 | OneFootball

Brazil will finally face European national teams under Carlo Ancelotti.

The first test comes this Thursday (26), against France, and the second will be against Croatia on Tuesday (31).

By facing one of the favorites to win this year’s World Cup, followed by the team that knocked Brazil out in 2022, we’ll get a better idea of Brazil’s level.

How confident are you for these matches? Leave your predictions for both friendlies in the comments and check out the main information about them below:

Brazil vs France

Venue: Boston

Head-to-head: 7 wins for Brazil, 4 draws, and 5 wins for France

Last meeting: France 1 x 3 Brazil, in March 2015 (friendly)

Brazil will take the field with a completely makeshift back line.

Alisson, Alex Sandro, and Gabriel Magalhães have been ruled out, while Marquinhos is also not fit to play.

In attack, Ancelotti has already confirmed that he will use four forwards in the starting lineup.

Vini Jr., Matheus Cunha, and Raphinha are three likely names. The question is who will be the fourth man alongside them.

Brazil vs Croatia

Venue: Orlando

Head-to-head: 3 wins for Brazil and 2 draws

Last meeting: Croatia 1 (4) x (2) 1 Brazil, in December 2022 (World Cup quarterfinals)

It is possible that Marquinhos will be available for the clash against the Croatians.

In the last two FIFA windows of 2025, Ancelotti preferred to use the first match with a formation closer to his ideal lineup, and the second to test options among the starters.

So this could be the moment to see more playing time for some of the new call-ups, such as midfielder Gabriel Sara and defensive midfielder Danilo.
