Brazil vs Morocco prediction 13.06.2026 | World Cup

Brazil enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 friendly victory over Egypt. The Seleção are currently riding a three-match winning streak, scoring eleven goals in that span to bounce back from an earlier defeat to France.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men still have work to do though as they managed to finish only one of their last seven encounters without conceding.

Real Madrid sensation Vinícius Júnior serves as the key man, intent on maintaining his explosive club-level goal contribution form on the grandest international stage.

However, the team must navigate this crucial opening fixture with notable squad limitations. Right-back Wesley França was forced to withdraw from the entire tournament after tearing his left thigh adductor muscle during their final warmup game.

Additionally, talisman Neymar remains a massive doubt for the opening lineup due to a bruised right calf.

Morocco enters this one on the back of a hard-fought 1-1 friendly draw against Norway. The Atlas Lions are currently boasting a 29-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, showing excellent defensive displays.

Mohamed Ouahbi’s men rely on structural resilience but face considerable pressure to replicate their legendary 2022 World Cup magic on American soil. Real Madrid playmaker Brahim Díaz stands out as their primary catalyst, fresh off scoring an early goal against Norway in their final warmup match.

However, the squad has been severely hit by unexpected selection setbacks right before the tournament opener. Winger Abde Ezzalzouli and center-back Nayef Aguerd were both officially forced to withdraw from the tournament due to injuries sustained just days ago.
