Brazil round off their year with a friendly against Tunisia on Tuesday night, with Lille’s Decathlon Arena playing host.
The Seleção notched a 2–0 victory over another African opponent, Senegal, at the Emirates Stadium at the weekend, with goals from Casemiro and teenage sensation Estévão inspiring Brazil to arguably their most impressive triumph of Carlo Ancelotti’s tenure so far.
The all-time great manager will lead the five-time world champions into battle at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and there will, of course, be an expectation for Brazil to go all the way in North America despite a rather shoddy qualifying campaign. Saturday’s showing will convince many that they’re heading in the right direction.
Tunisia currently sit 43rd in FIFA’s world rankings and are preparing for just their third ever meeting with the samba behemoths. They’ve had a busy November, with Tuesday’s friendly the third outing of their break.
A 1–1 draw with Mauritania and 3–2 win over Jordan have preceded the fixture with Brazil. Tunisia look battle hardened ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations, and they also booked at spot at next summer’s World Cup thanks to an impressive qualifying campaign.
Hereguide to the clash.
