Brazil qualified for another World Cup but collected just 28 points from eighteen matches, sharing 3rd to 6th places. Even in friendlies, they have struggled to win two in a row. Before the tournament, they warmed up against Panama with a 6-2 victory. Then, Egypt proved a tougher challenge, but Brazil still won 2-1.
Morocco, after their continental record in Qatar, where they reached the semifinals of the previous World Cup, had no issues with qualification, and in 2025 they claimed both the African Nations Championship and the Arab Cup. However, they lost the CAN final at home to Senegal on penalties, with a subsequent technical defeat awarded to their opponent. After that, they continued to win friendlies, ending the spring with a 5-0 rout of Burundi. They scored one less against Madagascar. But against Norway, they had to settle for a 1-1 draw.
The historical giant from South America now scores an average of 2.5 goals per match while conceding only 1.1. The leading team in African football, scoring 1.9 goals per game, concedes just 0.4 on average.
