Strengths
Individual talent remains world-class with Raphinha, Vinícius Jr., and Rodrygo. When clicking, they average 1.64 goals per game. The brand and aura of Brazilian football still intimidates.
Weaknesses
A 42.4% win rate is shockingly low for Brazil. 9 losses in 33 matches and defensive frailty (1.09 conceded per game). Coaching instability and no settled best XI. Qualifying form was genuinely poor.
Key Players
Vinícius Jr., Raphinha (6 goals), Rodrygo, Endrick
Our Prediction
Will still likely progress from Group C but are not the force they once were. An early knockout exit is very possible.
