Most likely, the Brazilian national team will have the initiative in the upcoming match. Despite the fact that there are many stories around this team that are not related to football, Brazil is still considered one of the favorites of the entire tournament. And in the upcoming fight against Venezuela, which is noticeably inferior in class, most likely, the nominally master’s team will be able to show its true level. Brazil’s attack is more than strong. Yes, lately the team has not shown very bright matches in terms of performance. But the potential is still incredibly large. And against Venezuela, which cannot boast of a good defense, it can be fully implemented. Neymar should become the leader of the team. But even without him, there is someone in the team to take the initiative. And this diversity can be a determining factor.
For the third time in a row the national team of Ukraine made it to the final tournament of the European Championship, where it has not yet passed the group stage. Andriy Shevchenko’s wards performed brilliantly for Euro 2020 and managed to take first place in the group, being ahead of Portugal and Serbia. It should be noted that the “yellow-blue” never lost at this stage. It did not work out for the guests in the League of Nations, where only a technical defeat brought the last place in the group and relegation to League B. The start of the selection for the 2022 World Cup turned out to be peaceful for the Ukrainian squad. They had a draw with France, Finland and Kazakhstan and with the same 1:1 score. The Ukrainian team won both control meetings before the start of the Euro against Northern Ireland (1:0) and Cyprus (4:0), for which we made a prediction.
