Brazil vs. Germany. Who has the better stats at the World Cup?

Brazil is the only country to have participated in all 21 World Championships. Germany, however, is right behind them and the battle between these two footballing superpowers is sure to continue as both countries have already qualified as one of the first.

Germany was the first country in the world to qualify for the World Cup, specifically on October 11. Apart from Qatar, of course, which is assured of participation as host country.

It was Brazil that decided its progress in the match against Colombia, which it managed to beat 1-0. Moreover, the Canaries played at home in Sao Paulo, so they could immediately celebrate their success with their fans.

In the match against Colombia, the only scorer was Lyon’s Lucas Paqueta, who was assisted by Neymar. The star Brazilian has scored seven goals and collected eight assists in his last nine games for the national team.

Brazil have won 11 times and drawn once in their last 12 matches. Thus, they have accumulated an incredible 34 points in the qualification and thanks to this they can also enjoy qualification for their next World Cup, where they will be among the favourites.
