Brazil is coming into this match with a good momentum, winning three, drawing once, and losing to one in their last five matches. During their opening game, Brazil were actually stunned by Italy, losing in a 3-2 opening match. Due to this, concerns were sparked, especially when it comes to their form in the contest. Fortunately for Brazil, they were able to prove themselves, as they followed it up with a 6-0 win against the Dominican Republic. Brazil is undeniably one of the most successful teams in the U20 World Cup, just behind Argentina. This season, they are aiming to get their sixth title, equalizing the record in the contest. This is the revenge they are eyeing, after they missed the 2017 and 2019 editions of the World Cup. They can gain hopes from the outstanding performance of Marcos Leonardo, who have been doing wonders for Brazil.
There will be some changes for the Brazilian squad, as Giovane is replacing Kaiki, but Andre and Douglas Mendes are on standby. Maquinhos, and Andrey Santos on the other hand are joining forces in the midfield for this match.
Tunisia
Tunisia on the other hand is not doing well recently, winning only once, and losing to four in their last five matches in the league. They finished the group stage in the third, which earned them their qualification in the knockout stage. Tunisia have already set a record in this match, as this is already their best finish in their history in the World Cup. Their previous performance just ended in a group stage finish for them, so this qualification is already an achievement. On their first match in the groups, they surprisingly put up a good fight against England despite the loss. Their only win in the group stage is a 3-0 win against Iraq, which is a dominating win for them. Coming into this match, as they are about to face a powerful Brazilian squad, they need to give their all to win in this game.
Tunisia welcomes back a player from a ban, but lost Rayan Nasraoui for a ban as well, due to his red card. Ghaith Ouhabi picked up a yellow card on their last match, but sustained an injury during the second half. Due to this, they will be without him in this match.
Prediction:
Brazil U20 (2.5)
Odds: 0.95
