This will be the third time in history that the two teams have played against each other.
summary
The Brazilian team will face Senegal for the third time this Saturday, but they are still winless in their last two matches, both of which ended in a draw and a loss in friendly matches.
Brazil will play against Senegal again this Saturday, the 15th, at 1pm (Brasilia time). This will be the third meeting between the teams in history. But one detail attracts attention. That means Canarinho has never won against today’s opponent.
Both matches ended with Senegal winning one and the other ending in a draw. Both duels were friendly.
The first friendly was played in critical conditions for Tite’s side. In October 2019, Roberto Firmino put Brazil ahead with a stunning goal in Singapore. The joy didn’t last long. Soon after, Famara Diediu left everything as it was. At the time, the draw was Brazil’s third match without a win. The match also marked Neymar’s 100th match in the Selecao uniform.
The reunion took place four years later in 2023. Without a coach after Tite’s departure, and with Ramon Menezes in place as interim, Brazil lost 4-2 at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Brazilians’ goals were scored by Lucas Paqueta and Marquinhos. However, the defender also scored an own goal. Sadio Mane won twice and Khabib Diallo won.
After the match against Senegal, the Brazilian national team will return to the field next Tuesday, the 18th, against Tunisia at the Decathlon Stadium in Lille, France.
