Brazil - Senegal prediction, H2H and probable lineups – 15 November 2025
One of the international friendlies will take place this Saturday at Emirates Stadium in London, where the Brazilian national team faces off against Senegal. I’m backing a bet on goals in this clash, with solid odds for success.
Match preview
Brazil are in the midst of a series of friendlies as part of their preparations for the 2026 World Cup, and so far Carlo Ancelotti’s squad has shown inconsistency. In six matches under his guidance, they’ve registered three wins, one defeat, and two draws, with the loss to Bolivia in September raising particular concerns.
The team’s last training camp featured two games in Asia, where Brazil first swept aside South Korea (5-0), but then squandered a two-goal lead to fall to Japan (2-3). This underlines that the team is still searching for the right balance between offense and defense.
Senegal come into the match in fantastic form and brimming with confidence after clinching World Cup qualification and stringing together four consecutive wins. The team impressed in qualifying, conceding just three goals across ten matches. Coach Pape Thiaw has built a well-balanced squad, combining defensive assurance with sharp attacking play.
The away win over England in June and last year’s rout of Brazil provide extra motivation for the Senegalese side. Emerging young talents have been given the chance to shine for the national team, making Senegal a dangerous and unpredictable opponent for any heavyweight. The showdown with Brazil will be a true test, as Senegal look to underline their progress on the international stage once again.
Probable lineups
- Brazil: Ederson; Wesley, Marquinhos, Gabriel, C. Henrique; Casemiro, Guimarães; Estevão, Paquetá, Rodrygo; Vinícius Júnior
- Senegal: E. Mendy; A. Mendy, Koulibaly, N’Diakhate, Diouf; P. Sarr, Gueye; I. Sarr, Ndiaye, Mané; Jackson
Match facts & head-to-head
- Senegal are unbeaten against Brazil in their two previous friendlies (1 win, 1 draw).
- Their last meeting in 2023 ended with a 4-2 victory for Senegal.
- Brazil failed to hold onto a win in their last match, surrendering a 2-0 lead against Japan.
Prediction
Given Senegal’s form and Brazil’s ongoing transition, this encounter promises to be both high-scoring and tense. We expect both teams to showcase their attacking prowess, and our bet for this match is “Over 2.5 goals” at 1.77.
