Brazil to face Ghana in second-to-last friendly before World Cup
The Brazilian team are scheduled to face Ghana at the Océane stadium in Le Havre, France, on Friday (Sep 23) at 3:30 pm Brasília time, in their penultimate match before the World Cup, slated to kick off on November 20 in Qatar.
In the game, coach Tite is likely to make some experiments, especially in the offensive department. Unlike other matches, Tite attempted the 4-1-2-3 formation during practice, with only Casemiro as holding midfielder. Neymar and Lucas Paquetá will be the midfielders on the inside, while Vinícius Júnior and Raphinha will keep the ends. Richarlison will be the center forward.
Regarding the defense, the main change will be the right side. That’s where defender Éder Militão will be put to the test.
Opponents in Qatar
The opponents of Tite’s team on Friday are in Group H of the World Cup, along with Uruguay, Portugal, and South Korea. Interestingly, Ghana may cross paths with the Brazilian team in a possible clash in the round of 16. But Brazil have a favorable record, with four wins in four games—one of them in the round of 16 of the 2006 World Cup.
