The South American team might not have won the World Cup for over two decades, but the quality of Brazil’s current squad and their recent performances suggest they will not relinquish their position. Selecao will not be letting go of their first place at the finals of 2022 in Qatar.
Brazil Winning Chances
The men’s FIFA World Cup draws closer each year and will kick on in Qatar on the 21st of November and last until the 18th day of December. The tournament, which is the 22 and 23rd event of the event, will be completed by 32 nations determined to take on the prized trophy.
According to the most recent world cup 2022 winners’ chances and predictions, Brazil is the most popular choice and has the background to merit this honor.
Star power
If you’re looking for stars on display in Qatar, take a look at Brazil. The South American side boasts world-elite talent on the pitch, but their team is home to three of the top players in the world and, with them, their secret to World Cup success.
Neymar is set to make the third straight World Cup appearance off the off of his impressive performance for the club Paris Saint-Germain. The 31-year-old scored eight goals from a total of eight games in his debut for the season so far at Ligue 1, almost equaling the 13 goals he scored in an injury-plagued 2021-22 season.
As of now, Real Madrid winger Vinicius Jr. will make his debut appearance in the world arena as he demonstrates his brilliance 17-goal 2021-22 campaign worthy of the highest praise as the 22-year-old match the impressive attacking record of his French co-player Karim Benzema who was that was the top goal scorer of the season for the club in La Liga.
Since switching between Manchester City to league rivals Arsenal, Brazil regular Gabriel Jesus has blossomed into the sole striker in Mikel Arteta’s formation of 4-2-3-1 which allows his pace and creativity to stand out from the Gunners the league’s top-of-the-line beginning to the season.
Nineteen-time goal scorer in Brazil, Jesus could be with his fellow Premier League stars Roberto Firmino and Fabinho from Liverpool and Manchester United midfield duo Fred and Casemiro and the Aston Villa’s Philippe Coutinho is also a possibility of keeping his starting position after leaving Russia.
If the attacking record of these players meet in Qatar The South Americans could be ruthless in the front when November rolls around.
Better lead-in over Russia Better lead-in than Russia in
Brazil will be entering in the 2022 World Cup in similar, however, they will be in better shape as they did in their previous tournament on the international stage.
The South Americans went undefeated in their qualifying campaign for Qatar with 14 wins and drawing just three matches in contrast to their performance in 2018 in which they still won the top spot in the CONMEBOL qualifying competition, but fell 2 in the first match against Chile in their opening match.
In the process of securing winning the 2018 Copa America title and coming painfully close again in 2021, when they lost in the final to Argentina at the end of their final the Brazilians were beaten just two times in their Russia campaign, compared to their four losses and one penalty shootout loss in the build-up to the tournament of 2018.
Opponent familiarity
One of the main reasons Brazil can smash the opposition at the stage of group play and take their momentum to the knockout stages is because of their familiarity with their initial three opponents.
In strange situations, two groups of this year’s World Cup will be near the same as their counterparts from 2018 in that France, Denmark and Australia will all play each other in Group D. Brazil, Switzerland and Serbia will also be playing on the same stage twice as Cameroon will replace Costa Rica from the previous tournament.
