Brazil face off against Guinea in an international friendly on Saturday evening at Espanyol’s RCDE Stadium in Spain.
Brazil come into this game on the back of a 2-1 loss to Morocco in their most recent game. Goals from Al-Rayyan forward Sofiane Boufal and Sampdoria midfielder Abdelhamid Sabiri secured the win for Morocco. Manchester United midfielder Casemiro scored the goal for Brazil.
Guinea, on the other hand, lost 2-1 to Egypt in their most recent game. Goals from Trabzonspor winger Trezeguet and Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed sealed the deal for Egypt. Stuttgart forward Serhou Guirassy scored the goal for Guinea.
Brazil have opted to play these two matches against African opposition in Europe to allow for the majority of their star players to join up with the squad during the off-season.
After facing Guinea in Barcelona on June 17, Menezes’ side head to the Portuguese capital of Lisbon to take on Sadio Mane and Senegal.
