Brazil hosts Qatar in a friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, June 5th at Estádio Mané Garrincha, Brasilia
Recently, the Brazilian team looks good. After the Tite’s men failed to advance at the World Cup in Russia, they played 8 matches and gained 7 victories. Interestingly, the only team, which managed not to lose to the Brazilians, was the team of Panama - 1:1. Yes, it is the very team that debuted at the World Cup. That match took place in March, and three days later, Brazil played in the Czech Republic, where it won with a 3:1 score. A couple of years ago, the Brazilian defense was called reliable, but now the team has a lack of game discipline. Of course, you also need to take into account the level of motivation of star-spangled Brazilians – the players are unlikely to give all the best in the game with a modest Qatar after hard seasons in the top clubs of Europe, besides this game does not solve anything.

Football of Qatar is developing rapidly. But this is rather a forced sequence of events - people are investing simply crazy money in Qatari football. It is happening because Qatar will need to host the world football cup in three years. The interests of the national team are now taken into account in this country in the first place, because no one wants to disgrace in front of rich fans. Obviously, the results of the team are improving, and we see it both in friendly games and in official ones. This year, in January-February, Qatar took part in the Asian Cup. At the group stage, Qatar easily coped with its rivals: Lebanon (2:0), North Korea (6:0), and Saudi Arabia (2:0). In the playoffs, Qatari defeated Iraq (1:0), South Korea (1:0), United Arab Emirates (4:0) and Japan in the final game (3:1). The result is surprising, given the fact that the Qatari allowed a goal for the first time only in the final. For Qatar, winning the Asian Cup is already a great achievement. If football continues to develop here at the same rapid pace, then the Qatari will not be "easy beats” at the home world championship.
Brazil and Qatar have never met each other before. This is not strange, given the fact that the local Qatari moneybags began to show a heightened interest in football only in recent years. Surely, Qatar again paid a tidy sum to the star rival in order to hold a friendly match. However, the desire to play against strong opponents deserves praise - in these games, Qatar gains experience and learns something new. Qatar's results are improving, and it's hard not to notice. The victory in the Asian Cup says that football in Qatar is already developed at a good level, because such tournaments are not won just like that, no matter how much money you have.
Currently, it difficult to call the Brazilian national team the best in the world. We all watched the World Cup in Russia, where the Brazilians came in the status of the main favorite. But they did not look very convincing in terms of game quality. Their problems began in the first game against Switzerland (1:1). The matches against Costa Rica and Serbia were won with the same score 2:0, but it would be fair if the Brazilians lost points. In the playoffs, the Tite’s players knocked out Mexico (2:0) but then lost to Belgium in the bright quarterfinals (1:2). Many team leaders will not play against Qatar, and Brazil’s level of motivation will be very low.
Prediction for the match: Qatar to win with +2.5 handicap
