Brazil vs Serbia Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 24th November 2022

Brazil and Serbia kick off their World Cup campaign, when they face off in the first round this coming Thursday at Lusail Stadium.

We are entering the first round of the World Cup group stage with both Brazil and Serbia hoping this in only the first of many matches in the coming month. Brazil enter their upcoming game placed as number one in the FIFA world ranking. This leaves quite a gap to opponents Serbia, who enter the game ranked number 21 in the world.

Brazil are heavy favourites with the bookmakers to top their group. Brazil have enough quality in their ranks to also reach for a final at the World Cup.

Few people expect Serbia to be challenging for the title, but with the right amount of luck, they have enough spunk to squeeze into the next round.

Tournament Overview

Looking at the prices available with the bookmakers, a first World Cup win seems on the menu for Brazil. They possess too much quality to let an important win slip through their hands in this encounter. Serbia enter their first match at the World Cup as massive outsiders at Lusail Stadium. It is exceedingly tough to come up with an argument on their behalf, as a defeat looks unavoidable against this opponent.
