Friendlies
Carlo Ancelotti has rekindled hopes for the Brazilians, but the team remains somewhat inconsistent lately. They have recorded mixed results in their recent friendlies. Now, a new and more serious test awaits on neutral ground in the USA. Brazil has scored in their last 15 friendly matches, which hardly surprises anyone. The top scorer of Brentford, Igor Thiago, is expected to make his debut. Bruno Guimarães and Richarlison have been dropped from the squad, as well as Neymar.
France has shown decent form and qualified without any problems for the World Cup. Their recent matches have been high-scoring, and they are on a streak of five consecutive games with over 2.5 goals. Didier Deschamps has no particular surprises or absences regarding his squad. Randal Kolo Muani returns to the team, and a debut is expected for Monaco's striker Magnes Akliouche.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreIt is reasonable to expect a spectacular match between these two football powerhouses, so I am leaning towards goals from both sides. Even if the stars are not at their peak and are conserving energy, there are other decent players whose chance to prove themselves opens up precisely in such friendlies.
