Brazil are ready to be back in action after the World Cup. Morocco will host the match tonight at Grand State de Tanger. Brazil once again failed to complete their Mission Hexa as they were eliminated from the quarterfinal of the World Cup by Croatia on penalties. On the other hand, Morocco were the giant killer in the Qatar World Cup, having defeated giants like Belgium, Spain, and Portugal. Morocco surprised the world by qualifying for the semifinals of the Qatar World Cup. However, their dream run ended in the semifinal as they lost to France.

Brazil will play under an interim manager

Since Tite resigned as the head coach, Brazil haven't appointed a new manager yet. There are strong rumors that Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti will be the new coach of Brazil's National Football Team. Brazilan Man City goalkeeper Ederson made it strong as he opens up Ancelotti's possibility to become the manager. He said, “I was discussing this with Casemiro, Vinicius Junior, [Eder] Militão. There is a big possibility that he [Ancelotti] comes." Ederson added, "Just look at his CV. We will know shortly whether he will be here or not. I hope we can have a new coach quickly. I feel the anticipation too, because there's too much speculation. Is it a Brazilian or a foreign coach? We are also living that phase of anxiety.” However, Ramon Menezes is now the interim manager of Brazil. His short era begins tonight with the match against Morocco.

Team News

Morocco became the giant killer in the world cup because of their several quality players. Hakim Ziyech and Achraf Hakimi are two of their big names, while Sofyan Amrabat showed his class in the world cup. The manager called them for the match against Brazil. On the other hand, Brazil will miss a number of players for different reasons. Neymar Jr. Is out of the squad due to injury, while Alisson Becker, Gabriel Martinelli, Bruno Guimaraes, and Raphinha have not been called up by Ramon Menezes.

Prediction: Morocco 1-0 Brazil

Morocco will have a full-fit squad, while Brazil will miss their several key players. Morocco will have the home advantage and can make another upset as they did in the World Cup.
