This is something the Brazilians have in common with other proud soccer nations like Germany or Argentina.

Brazil World Cup 2022 Preview

Brazil have been waiting for a World Cup title for 20 years now. In 2002, the tournament’s record winner won the prestigious trophy for the fifth time. Statistically speaking, a new World Cup title for Brazil is long overdue – and there are a number of reasons to believe that the Brazilians can make it happen again this year.

Brazil’s team is incredibly well-balanced and bursting with technical class. In attack, team boss Tite can call on stars like Vinicius Junior, Neymar and Raphinha. In midfield, top players such as Fabinho and Casemiro are pulling their weight. And in defense, Brazil can rely on Marquinhos, Eder Militao, or experienced player and captain Thiago Silva.

The most impressive part of the Brazilian team, however, is the goalkeeper. Here, Tite could throw both Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker and Manchester City’s Ederson into the race.

The Brazilians are also well-rehearsed and consistent, as the international matches in 2022 showed. In the last two friendlies against Ghana and Tunisia alone, the team scored eight goals. Brazil have now gone undefeated for 15 games. The last defeat – albeit a very painful one – came against Argentina in the final of the Copa America in July 2021.

If you look at the depth of the squad and the possibilities that Brazil enjoy, you can immediately see why the best bookmakers see the Brazilians as the top favorites to win the World Cup.

It is clear that there is no way to get past the “Selecao” on the way to the title and it can be assumed that the Brazilians will have no problems in the group stage.

Serbia World Cup 2022 Preview

Serbia are coming to the World Cup in Qatar with a number of players who are absolute top performers at their clubs. This is the case, for example, with Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Juventus star striker Dusan Vlahovic, and Serbian and Ajax team captain Dusan Tadic.

Dragan Stojkovic’s squad also has some more exciting footballers across the board, although they have not yet gained any major experience at World Cups. This is only the third World Cup for the Serbs, and they were eliminated in the group stage at each of the previous.

In the last UEFA Nations League, Serbia did not take part in the top group, but only played in the B group, which they won. This is a great achievement, as the team faced some difficult opponents in Norway, Sweden and Slovenia, but largely dominated them.

Serbia took 13 points from six games, beating the strong Swedes and Norway with star striker Erling Haaland.

The lack of experience at major tournaments could prove somewhat problematic for Serbia. However, in terms of potential, they are not inferior to their slightly stronger group opponents from Switzerland.

Against Brazil they are of course underdogs, but they can only surprise. The Serbs can therefore go into the first group game of the World Cup without much pressure – they will have to win the points against Cameroon and Switzerland later anyway.

The last duel

Brazil and Serbia also met in the group stage at the last World Cup finals in 2018. Back then, Brazil won 2-0 after goals from Paulinho and Thiago Silva. Key players such as Milinkovic-Savic or Tadic on the one side and Neymar, Casemiro, Thiago Silva or Alisson on the other side were also involved back then.

Brazil – Serbia Over Under Tip

Will there be a maximum of two or three goals in this match?  That is a question that is difficult to answer in the match between Brazil and Serbia. Brazil is likely to have a long tournament ahead of them and won’t want to get burned out in their first game.

Even though attacking play is in the Brazilians’ DNA, it’s quite conceivable that they would manage a lead rather than play aggressively for more goals.

Serbia, on the other hand, also have great attacking power, but will have a hard time creating clear scoring chances against Brazil’s strong defense.

We are therefore betting on an “under 2.5”, i.e. a maximum of two goals scored in the match.

---

Brazil – Serbia Match Prediction

Brazil is the clear favorite in the first group match against Serbia and will not let anything slip. Even in the unlikely event that Serbia catch Brazil on the wrong foot and take the lead, the World Cup favorites have the potential to add to their tally and increase the pressure almost at will.

The fact that Brazil is unbeaten for 15 matches says a lot about the strength of the team.

The Serbians are definitely a force to be reckoned with as the group stage progresses, but Brazil will be too tough for Stojkovic’s side to handle in the opener, which is why we’re betting on Brazil to win.

---

Brazil – Serbia Correct Score Bet

Brazil will take control of the match against Serbia from the start and dominate the game. Serbia will be on the lookout for counterattacks, but Brazil will be expecting them.

Accordingly, it is to be expected that the favorite will put a lot of focus on the distances between the individual parts of the team, so that Serbia will not have any chances at all in counterattack play.

Sooner or later, the pressure will become too much and Brazil will score. Our guess here is that the Brazilians will score two goals against Serbia, as they did at the 2018 World Cup.

However, we don’t expect Brazil to start really tearing Serbia apart after that. Instead, due to the numerous tasks that still await the “Selecao” later in the tournament, they will focus on control and conserving energy. Our result bet is 2:0 for Brazil.
