Spain, winning their first-ever World Cup in 2010, failed to shine in the following three World Cup events. They were eliminated from the Round of 16 in the Qatar World Cup as Morocco defeated them on penalties. But they have been flying after the World Cup and won ten consecutive matches. However, Colombia stopped their winning run when they defeated Spain on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Brazil’s World Cup journey ended in the quarterfinal. They have also been struggling after the World Cup. The Selecao had lost three games in a row. But Brazil made a brilliant start under the new manager, Dorival Júnior. Dorival Júnior started his journey with Brazil by defeating England on Sunday. However, the Selecao will look to continue their winning run when they visit Santiago Bernabeu tonight.

Team News
Spain boss Luis de la Fuente made the debut of three players, including Alex Remiro, Pau Cubarsi, and Dani Vivian, against Colombia. However, the manager is likely to change his squad. Unai Simon, Dani Carvajal, Robin Le Normand, Fabian Ruiz, Rodri, Dani Olmo, Alvaro Morata, and Nico Williams have a chance to start against Brazil.
As for Brazil, Richarlison was on the bench against England, and manager Dorival Junior explained that Richarlison had a knee injury. Therefore, Tottenham’s forward is still in doubt ahead of the match against Spain. The rest of the players are fit enough to play the match.
Possible Lineup for Spain:
Simon; Carvajal, Le Normand, Laporte, Grimaldo; Ruiz, Rodri, Merino; N Williams, Morata, Olmo
Possible Lineup for Brazil:
Bento; Danilo, Bremer, Beraldo, Wendell; Paqueta, Guimaraes, Luiz; Pepe, Rodrygo, Vinicius
Prediction: Spain 1-1 Brazil
Although Brazil were not in their best form since the World Cup, it seems they are now back under the new manager following their win against England. Winning against England at Wembley is a huge boost for the Selecao.
But Spain are also in a good rhythm despite losing to Colombia in their last game. As the home side, they will try everything to beat Brazil.
