Spain v Brazil Betting Tips [26 March 2024]

Spain and Brazil had contrasting results in their last outings as they embarked on friendlies in preparation for continental assignments. The two giants of world football will face off in Madrid, Spain preparing for Euro 2024 and Brazil for the Copa America. Hosts Spain are coming from a 1-0 loss in London at the hands of Colombia. Daniel Munoz’s lone strike was the highlight as Spain gave an underwhelming performance at the London Stadium. That marked their first game in nine without scoring, and also their first defeat in nine matches. Spain now have all to do to restore their pride against one of the best nations in world football. Theirs is a journey towards regaining the European glory of over a decade ago and this is a key game to test their levels. In the last Euro finals, Spain reached the semis and will hope to go further this time. Five straight home wins will build their confidence going into this game.

A famous 1-0 win over England in their last game provides the bounce Brazil needed going into this game. They hadn’t won in four straight matches ahead of that, and had lost each of the earlier three. However, new manager Dorival Junior provided the needed magic in his first game, and will want to keep it going. Real Madrid bound Endrick Felipe Moreira scored the winner against England and will be fired up, playing at the Santiago Bernabeu. The five-time world champions got their defensive act right against England and will hope the attack ticks too here. In two of their last four matches, they failed to score. Also, the Samba Boys failed to score more than once in the last six matches. The South American giants will be using this game as preps for the 2024 Copa America, but have been affected by injuries. Among the unavailable players is Neymar, scorer in the last meeting between the two nations in 2013, which ended 3-0.

These two sides are facing off for the first time in over a decade. The last time they met, Spain were on a decline and lost heavily, without scoring. It has been a trend for at least one side failing to score in this game. Also, the two nations’ recent matches haven't mostly been high scoring. In light of the two nations' squad strengths, we don’t expect a goal fest here. Our prediction for Spain v Brazil is for at least one side failing to score and under 2.5 goals.
