Spain vs Brazil Prediction & Betting Tips

The Santiago Bernabeu hosts Spain and Brazil this Tuesday in an international friendly. Spain will be looking for a statement win in this international break going into the European Championships, whereas Brazil also look for good form for the Copa America.

Date: 26/03/2024

Kick off time: 20:30

Location: Santiago Bernabeu

The last international break before the summer, which sees both the European Championships and the Copa America, competitions both sides will be looking to dominate and win after a disappointing World Cup.

Spain did win the last international competitions they entered, that being the Nations League. La Roja beat off current European champions Italy and met Croatia in the Final. After a 0 - 0 draw, Spain picked up the trophy with a 5 - 4 penalty shootout win.

La Roja also dominated their Qualification group for the 2024 Euros. Group A hosted Spain, Scotland, Norways, Georgia and Cyprus, but in eight games Spain had seven wins and one loss, finishing the group four points above Scotland.

Brazil, on the other hand, have been busy in the South America World Cup Qualifiers. In CONMEBOL Brazil played six games where they picked up two wins, one draw, and three losses. This left Brazil seven points, just two points within the qualification cut-off.

The Canary Squad last faced a European side in the Quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup. After a goalless 90 minutes, the tie was sent to extra time. Bruno Petkovic gave Croatia the lead but Neymar equalised to send it to penalties. However, with Rodrygo and Marquinhos missing, Brazil crashed out.

This will be the tenth meeting between Spain and Brazil in their histories. The first meeting cam all the way back in the second ever World Cup in 1934, and this will be the first meeting since 2013. Brazil have the better record in the fixture with five wins in comparison to Spain’s two wins, the other two games ending in a draw.

Spain haven’t beaten Brazil since 1990, where they picked up a 3 - 0 win in a friendly. Also, this fixture usually sees only one team on the scoresheet, with the last game that saw both teams scoring coming all the way back in 1962.

The visit to Uruguay saw both Darwin Nunez and Nicolas de la Cruz on the scoresheet as Brazil failed to registered a single shot on target and slumped to a 2 - 0 loss.

Footy Accumulators Prediction

Despite Brazil having the better record in the fixture, historically, their current form and key injuries suggests that Spain may have the upperhand. This fixture rarely sees both sides on the scoresheet, and with Brazil’s woes, this is likely to continue. Spain 2-0 Brazil
