Brazil’s Second World Cup Tune-Up Under Ancelotti

Brazil returns to action this Tuesday, November 18th, for their second friendly of the international break, facing a disciplined Tunisia team that stunned the world at Qatar 2022 with their unforgettable 1–0 victory over France.

For Carlo Ancelotti, this matchup represents his final opportunity to refine the team before the global tournament. Against Senegal, the Canarinha showed both flair and efficiency, sealing a 2–0 win thanks to goals from young star Estêvão and veteran leader Casemiro.

The chemistry between Rodrygo and Vinícius Jr. was evident once again, generating several dangerous attacks. Despite the setback of Gabriel’s injury, Brazil’s coaching staff still has reliable defensive options available.

Tunisia Seeks Rhythm Before the Africa Cup of Nations

On the other side, Tunisia arrives after a 1–1 draw against Mauritania and a hard-fought 3–2 win over Jordan, with goals from Ali Abdi, Montassar Talbi, and Elias Achouri.

However, the Eagles of Carthage continue to struggle with defensive consistency and finishing efficiency — areas they must polish before the Africa Cup of Nations begins on December 21st, exclusively on beIN SPORTS and beIN SPORTS en Español.

Unlike Senegal, fewer Tunisian players compete in Europe’s elite leagues, which adds difficulty when facing a Brazilian squad loaded with talent from the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and Ligue 1.

A Key Test for Both Sides

For Brazil, this match is all about perfecting details, strengthening transitions, and confirming Ancelotti’s final blueprint before the World Cup.

For Tunisia, it is a valuable chance to fix structural issues, reinforce their collective identity, and measure themselves against one of the strongest national teams on the planet.
