Brazil vs Tunisia preview, prediction, team news, and head-to-head

Both teams have qualified for the 2026 World Cup, and this match offers the players  the opportunity to continue their preparations as they stay fit and enable the coach to test tactics.

The Selecao are no strangers to playing African teams. They come into this match riding on a 2-0 victory against an in-form Senegalese side, courtesy of an opener from Estevao. It looks like things are starting to get better for Carlo Ancelloti and his boys.

Under his management so far, Brazil has won 4 matches (D1, L2), and a win in this fixture will further boost the team's confidence ahead of the global tournament. 

Tunisia, on the other hand, has been extremely good, especially in the world cup qualification. The African side won 9 out of 10 group matches they played (D1). The  Eagles of Carthage also didn't concede a single goal throughout the campaign, proving their solid defense.

In their last five matches, Sami Trabelsi's men have only lost one game, and that is a 3-0 defeat to Egypt in a friendly. Playing against a football powerhouse like Brazil will help to sharpen the team as they prepare for the World Cup.

Brazil vs Tunisia head-to-head

Brazil has only played the one-time African champions once in history. The match ended 5-1 in favour of the five times World champions.

Although the Brazilian team are not particularly impressive in their last five games against African nations, their recent win against Senegal can help in containing Tunisia.

The latest concern for Ancelotti is the absence of Gabriel, who was subbed off the pitch due to injury in the match against Senegal. The medical team will assess the Arsenal defender to confirm his current condition.

However, the coach will be excited to still have Chelsea teenager Estevao, who was very clinical in the last match. Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo are also available to start for the Selecao.

Sami Trabelsi has no new injury concerns and will likely maintain the same squad he used in the 3-2 victory against Jordan. The coach will also rely on Ali Abdi for some attacking threats against the Brazilian defenders.

Brazil lineup: Ederson; Wesley, Gabriel, Marquinhos, C. Henrique; Guimaraes, Casemiro; Estevao, Rodrygo, Paqueta; Vinicius Jr

Tunisia lineup: Dahmen; Valery, Bronn, Talbi, Ouanes; Sassi, Hanibal, Romdhane; Layouni, Mastouri, Achouri

Although this is a friendly match, we still expect it to be a bit intense since both teams will use this fixture to enhance their WC 2026 preparation.

Brazil is the clear favourite for those betting on Livescorebet because of the quality of players in the team. However, we're not taking anything away from the African side, even though we don't see them winning this match.
