World Cup Head to Head
Brazil and Morocco faced each other in the World Cup only once before. They met in the 1998 FIFA World Cup group stage, where Brazil won 3-0 comfortably. However, in recent times, they faced in 2023 in Tunisia, Morocco had the last laugh that time with a 2-1 win.
Brazil has won seven of its eight matches against opponents from Africa in the World Cup. The only loss came in the last World Cup against Cameroon (1-0), where Brazil fancied their second XI after confirming their place in the round of 16.
FIFA World Cup History
Brazil is the only team to be featured in all the FIFA World Cups starting from 1930. They have won the title for the highest time in history. However, their recent performance doesn’t speak for them. The last time Selecao won the title was back in 2002. And after that, their best performance was in 2014, playing Semi-Final in the home soil. They were thrashed by the Champion Germany 1-7 in Maracana.
Morocco showed some excellent performance in recent years. They have reached the semi-final in the last World Cup in Qatar. In that journey, they have beaten giants like Belgium, Spain, and Portugal. Their performance was astonishing in that World Cup.
