Tite’s team will face Cameroon this Friday, December 2, in a training rhythm. In fact, for Brazil, the game will only serve to decide who will finish in first and second place in the group, which will also depend on the result of the match between the other two teams, Switzerland and Serbia.
If Brazil finishes in first place in Group G, it will face the second-placed team from Group H. If the team finishes in second place in its group, it will play against the first-placed team from Group H.
But what is the situation in Group H?
Group H consists of Portugal, Ghana, South Korea, and Uruguay. Portugal, like Brazil, has six points from two victories and is already qualified for the round of 16. This means that Portugal could be one of Brazil’s opponents. If Cristiano Ronaldo’s team finishes in second place in the group (for that to happen, they will need to lose to South Korea) and Brazil finishes in first or vice versa.
If both teams confirm the most likely outcome and finish the group stage in first place, they will only have the chance to meet in a potential final.
The second place in Group H is still undecided. At the moment, Ghana is in second place with 3 points. South Korea and Uruguay each have one point. This means that the second available spot can be claimed by any of these teams.
So, take note: depending on the results of Friday’s matches, Brazil could face any of the teams from Group H.
