Brazil vs Egypt: prediction, facts, betting tips and head-to-head – June 7, 2026
Brazil and Egypt will face off in a pre-World Cup international friendly on the night of Sunday, June 7, with kick-off scheduled for midnight CET. Here is my betting pick for the match.
Brazil vs Egypt: Match preview
Brazil appointed Carlo Ancelotti during their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, although they failed to come through qualification in particularly convincing fashion. The Seleção collected 28 points from 18 qualifying matches and finished fifth in the standings. At the tournament, they will take on Morocco, Haiti and Scotland. It is a relatively manageable group, and Brazil are expected to advance to the knockout stage. A few days ago, Brazil faced Panama in a friendly and thrashed their opponents 6-2.
Egypt secured qualification for the World Cup comfortably, finishing top of their group. They collected 26 points from ten matches and ended five points clear of the runners-up. At the World Cup, they will face Belgium, New Zealand and Iran. At the Africa Cup of Nations, the team reached the semi-finals, where they were beaten by Senegal, before losing to Nigeria in the third-place match. A few days ago, the Pharaohs defeated Russia 1-0.
