England vs Brazil Prediction
Although England are yet to test a defeat in a friendly match while at home under the tutelage of Southgate, they are likely to struggle against Brazil.
However, the home advantage and the depth of their squad, may make them walk away with something from this match. Therefore, football fans should expect an end-to-end encounter between the two sides.
