- Knockout matches have been their Achilles’ heel in the last three World Cups, their scoring percentage decreasing by 42%, which is the majority for Premier teams.
Brasil World Cup
2022 prediction: what has changed since the last World Cup?
- Tite has built more depth in this Brazilian team than other teams and it is not surprising that they set a new record in the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying campaign as they remain unbeaten and surpassed it with 45 points.
- Brazil lacked attacking power in the last three World Cups and no world-class attacking midfielder and shooting accuracy was below par with top teams.
- With Vinicius Junior and Neymar able to break the defence and make key passes, Brazil have the tools to bury them with Richarlison and Raphinha performing exceptionally on shooting metrics on par with France.
- Casemiro’s well-established central defenders and one of the best defensive midfielders make them a tough wall to break, with Marquinhos proving he can be threatening in attack as well.

Brasil World Cup 2022 Prediction: Insights and Final Analysis
Tite in the last three years with his managerial experience has identified a pool of players that meets the needs of the national team. In the last World Cups Brazil does not have a stable team due to the constant cutting and change of the team and that has injured them in knockout matches. Tite has almost all the bases covered this time, which makes Brazil a very difficult opponent. However, Brazil have a slight problem with the left-back and right-back and Tite is still trying to find an answer. That said, Brazil have all the arsenal and form to compensate for slight discrepancies that make them favorites for the World Cup, and rightly so.
