Record five-time World Cup champions Brazil will look to set things rolling when they face Panama in a friendly on Sunday at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro. This will be the last match for Selecao before taking the flight to the USA, while the visiting ‘Canal Men’ will hope to keep things tight. It may not be an easy outing for the hosts, and our prediction is Panama +3 European Handicap.
Brazil struggled in the CONMEBOL qualifiers, finishing fifth and a whopping ten points behind archrivals Argentina. Coach Carlo Ancelotti will look to put that aside and also keep the noise around Neymar’s selection on the outside. They are tagged with Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland in Group C of the global tournament.
Panama qualified for their second World Cup tournament ever by finishing top of Group A in the third round of the CONCACAF qualifiers. They will play England, Croatia, and Ghana in that tournament. Can Panama keep their famed hosts at bay and frustrate them in a tight affair? Read more for our analysis, team news, and match predictions.

Brazil - Panama: Form Analysis
Brazil defeated Croatia 3-1 in their last friendly, bouncing back from a 2-1 loss to France, with both friendlies coming in March. That victory makes it three in their last six friendlies (D1, L2) as Ancelotti looks to get more momentum before a send-off on home soil.
The Selecao’s last four friendlies that they hosted have come in neutral venues. Five wins out of their last six home matches played in Brazil should be a confident measure of what this unit can bring in familiar conditions.
Brazil kept just one clean sheet in their last five matches.
Panama were also heavily involved in friendlies since winning a ticket to the World Cup. They avoided defeat in three of their four recent friendlies (W1, D2, L1) with the lone loss coming against Mexico (1-0) in January.
The ‘Canal Men’ have lost only once during regular time in their last 16 matches (W9, D6), although Brazil is an opponent at a different level. Interestingly, they held Brazil to a 1-1 draw the last time these sides played in 2019, so they have a history of frustrating their opponents.

Brazil & Panama Squad Analysis
Neymar’s injury has been the core of attention in Brazil’s team selection, but with him sidelined up to three weeks, there’s a new headache for Ancelotti. With Arsenal playing PSG in the UEFA Champions League, Gabriel, Martinelli, and Marquinhos are yet to link up with the national team.
Ancelotti has usually trusted a 4-3-3 formation, although he also experimented with a 4-2-2-2 system. That would leave Vinicius Junior, Raphinha, and Matheus Cunha leading the line.
Vinicus has seen his eight national goals come in seven wins.
Panama have their own injury concerns, with captain Anibal Godoy’s fitness under question. There are also questions over the fitness of goalkeeper Luis Mejia, who is battling a muscular problem.
The visitors have usually lined up in a 3-4-2-1 but can also play in a 5-4-1 system to stifle the opponents. It could be the goals of Jose Fajardo that may make a difference, with the forward seeing 12 of his last 13 strikes coming in Panama wins.
Brazil - Panama Key Points
- Panama +3 European Handicap was successful in their last 18 matches.

Our Brazil vs Panama Prediction
Brazil are among the top five favourites to win the World Cup, but they are yet to convince the neutrals of their ability to improve before the tournament starts. All the discussion was around Neymar’s selection, but they have enough superstars to set the world alight. Panama are looking to impress on their second appearance in the World Cup, but the big outsiders are likely to fancy their chances of keeping it tight.
Panama have shown stubbornness even in defeats lately, so they could avoid a big defeat here. Our Brazil vs Panama prediction is Panama +3 European Handicap.
Brazil vs Panama Alternative Predictions
Brazil wins
Is there a chance to see beyond a Brazil win? Despite all the concerns over their ability to win the World Cup, winning against Panama could be something even the worst of their sides could achieve. Mind you, the last time these sides met in a friendly was back in 2019, when it ended in a 1-1 draw. Brazil could be out to set the record straight and win this time.
