Vinicius Junior’s five-time World Cup champion Brazil is taking on Achraf Hakimi’s 2022 World Cup semifinalist Brazil at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Saturday, June 13.
Brazil comes into this year’s tourney having undergone a rough-and-tumble three years. Since their heartbreaking Round of 16 loss to Croatia in December 2022, they’ve run through three managers and have seen perennial star Neymar Junior go from modern legend to question mark over the short period of time.
As for Morocco, they’re dealing with internal turmoil after veteran head coach Walid Regragui stepped down just three months before the World Cup. In his place comes Belgium native Mohamed Quahbi who helmed Morocco’s under-20 team to a World Cup championship in 2025.
Oddsmakers have Brazil as the favorite here, but it should be noted that the squad is dealing with injuries to now sidelined potential starters Rodrygo, Estevao, Eder Militao, Wesley and Neymar, who is nursing a calf strain.
