Brazil
The Brazil soccer schedule in this World Cup has thrown up some interesting matches.
Tite’s Troops to Start with Three Points?
Although Selecao are the bookies’ favorites to win the group, the other nations will be making life as difficult for the record World Cup winners as possible.
After opening up their tournament with the game against Serbia at Lusail Iconic Stadium this Thursday, the Brazilians face Switzerland at Stadium 974 in Doha on matchday two.
They could have six points in the bag by the time they take on Cameroon in Lusail on 2nd December.
Brazil are the team to beat in Qatar. Before a ball was struck in anger at this unique World Cup, Little Canary were the pre-competition favorites, with some bookies offering as little as +300 for Tite’s team to lift the trophy.
An Incredible Undefeated Run
They are on an incredible undefeated run right now, winning 12 and drawing three of 15. Since a 1-1 draw with Ecuador in January, Brazil have won seven on the spin.
Brazil may be the most successful nation in World Cup history, but the South American giants have not won a World Cup since prevailing in Korea & Japan 20 years ago.
Can they get back on top of the world in 2022? Keep reading for the latest Brazil vs Serbia odds and FIFA World Cup predictions.

Serbia
Having failed to qualify for the Brazil tournament in 2014, Serbia have made it to two World Cups in a row since.
Serbs to Crash to Defeat in Lusail?
In Russia four years back, the Serbs failed to get out of the group, however, losing two of three matches.
Serbia have some fine players in their World Cup squad, with the likes of Dusan Tadic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, and Dusan Vlahovic representing the nation in Qatar. Can the Eagles cause a few upsets along the way?
Stojkovic’s troops
After kicking off their World Cup campaign with a game against the tournament favorites in Lusail, Stojkovic’s troops play Cameroon at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah. Serbia then head to the capital to take on Switzerland in their final group game.
This will no doubt be a tough opening game for Serbia. However, they had a fine qualifying campaign and have picked up a hatful of wins over the past year or so.
The Eagles head into this one having won 12 of their last 16 matches and have lost just three times in over two years. Can the Serbs be spoilers in Group G?

- Nikola Milenkovic

Brazil vs. Serbia Pick and Prediction
Brazil will be hoping to get through the group unscathed, but all three matches are potential banana skins. Tite’s boys should start with three points in game one, though.
Serbia are in fine form under Stojkovic, but we can only see one winner in this fixture.
Take a punt on Brazil to be winning at half-time and full-time at the solid betting odds of +125. There is also good value in +275 for Brazil to win both halves in Lusail.
Soccer Pick: Brazil (+275)
