Only one member of the starting Brazil backline on Saturday evening had ever earned a senior cap for their country before, but an England offence bereft of Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka struggled to lay a glove on their inexperienced visitors, who had lost their last three games of 2023.
However, Dorival Junior’s first match as Brazil head coach proved to be an incredibly joyous occasion for the Selecao manager, who witnessed 17-year-old Endrick net a record-breaking goal in the 80th minute to settle the match, as the Real Madrid-bound teenager tapped in from a Vinicius Junior rebound.

Southgate’s men should not take a leaf out of Belgium’s attacking book on Tuesday night, though, as Domenico Tedesco’s side were also left to rue a tepid offensive display on Ireland’s turf, where no goals were to be had across the 90 minutes on Saturday.
Furthermore, only a Matz Sels penalty save from Evan Ferguson spared Belgium from the embarrassment of a first defeat since being bested by Morocco at the 2022 World Cup, and the Red Devils can therefore proudly boast a 12-game unbeaten run heading into the midweek matchup.
Kaminski; Meunier, Faes, Theate, Deman; Tielemans, Onana, Vermeeren; Bakayoko, Lukaku, Doku
Should Lukaku indeed be given the green light to line up at Wembley, Belgium will pack a meaner punch in attack than they did against Ireland, and the Red Devils have a knack for keeping things tight at the back as well. While we still have faith in England to learn some lessons from Saturday’s defeat and breach the sturdy Belgium backline once, Southgate’s men are still a shadow of their former selves up top without Kane or Saka, and an uninspiring draw could be on the cards this week.
England 2-1 Belgium, predicted by us.
