Brazil vs Serbia Prediction
Brazil 4-1 Serbia
Brazil will be on a mission this World Cup after coming up short in the past four tournaments. This year’s team features far too much talent for it not to dominate, even high-quality teams like Serbia.
For Serbia, Brazil’s relentless attack will simply be too much to contain. With the talent Brazil employs on either wing, Serbian goalkeeper, Marko Dmitrović, will surely have a long day ahead of him.
While Serbia scoring won’t be a sure thing, Mitrović finding a goal is never out of the question. Brazil’s defense is stern, but the 6’2 striker may be good for a late header in this one.

Brazil surely has the firepower to put up several goals in the first half, and their 0.94 goal average in the first 45 minutes should give you confidence in this play.
While Serbia’s defense is considered average to slightly above average, Brazil’s attack is arguably the strongest in the world, and they proved that in South American qualifiers this year. As a result, Brazil will jump to a lead in the first half and add to it in the last 45 minutes of the match.
