We will get a look at the World Cup favourites this weekend, as Brazil clash with Ghana at Stade Oceane on Friday evening. It will all be about the preparations for the major tournament for the Brazilians, but Ghana should be more than capable of putting up a good performance against the pre-tournament favourites.
International Friendly Preview
Brazil has a very good recent record coming into this fixture, as they have picked up five straight victories. They have looked far more formidable in front of goal since finishing top of the South American World Cup qualification group. In the previous four fixtures that they have played, Brazil has scored 14 goals and have conceded just once.
However, they were slightly more wasteful in their last international fixture, as they could only register a 1-0 victory on the road against Japan. The only goal in the win was scored from the penalty spot in the 77th minute, with Neymar converting the spot kick. However, Brazil had more than enough chances in that fixture to be well clear before eventually scoring the winning goal. That was evident as they had 21 shots, but just five on target.
Ghana are also preparing for the World Cup in just under two months time, as they were drawn in a very tricky looking group that also includes South Korea, Uruguay and Portugal. The African side come into this fixture in relative solid form, as they recently finished third in the Kirin Cup.
The only defeat that they have suffered in their previous six international fixtures came in the semi-finals of the Kirin Cup, as they were beaten by Japan. However, victories have also been hard to find for Ghana during that run, as they have picked up just one victory.
Brazil vs Ghana Head to Head
This will be the fifth time that Brazil and Ghana have clashed in an international fixture. All four of the previous meetings have been won the Brazilians, which included a 1-0 win in the latest meeting between the pair in September 2011.
Brazil vs Ghana Prediction
The overall record between these sides makes Brazil the clear pick this weekend. The Brazilians have looked extremely strong in their recent fixtures that they have played, and we would expect Brazil to continue to build their momentum against Ghana with a commanding 3-0 victory.
