Brazil - France

International Friendly Match

There's no need to go into too much details for this game, as we all know about Brazil and France. Both have great players, and are solid squads, even though they have left us with a sour taste recently. France are far away from their glory days, as they went through a lot of trouble and a lot of changes (also, some not so good coaches), and their best performance in recent years is just a quarter-final in last year's European Championship. Brazil is also in a similar position, even more so, since they haven't had any official matches since 2011, when they lost in the Copa America quarter-finals with Paraguay. And their recent results are nothing to brag about, as they have won just one game from their last 8 games, 4-0 against Bolivia. Other than that, worth mentioning are a couple of draws with Russia and Chile. They will use their Confederations Cup squad, and they have a lot of skilled players, but they don't seem as a blend-in team. Therefore, game relations are suffering, and unless the players show a glimpse of genius, they struggle to create dangerous chances. France is also using a team with mixed players, combining experience and youth. They still have a solid team, with players like Benzema, Gomis and others, so they should at least be able to keep it tight with Brazil. It is a friendly game, after all, and Brazil's form isn't great either, so a handicap line of 1 is just too much. Worth for some small stakes. GL!
