India host Brazil in an international friendly. Brazil have been the stronger side across their recent matches, while India's form over the same period has been much more mixed.
There's no head-to-head data here to lean on, and the sides come into this from very different places. Brazil have just been through a long, high-level World Cup campaign, while India have mostly been playing sides closer to their own level in regional friendlies and qualifiers.

Two very different recent runs
Brazil's last 20 matches read well: 11 wins, 4 draws and only 5 defeats, with 37 goals scored against 20 conceded. That run includes a run through this summer's World Cup, where they beat Japan, Haiti, Scotland and drew with Morocco before losing to Norway.
India: 18 completed matches; Brazil: 20 completed matches.

India's numbers over their last 17 matches are tougher reading. Just 4 wins against 8 defeats, with 17 goals for and 22 against. Their one standout result was a 6-1 win over Bhutan, but they've lost or drawn most of their games against Tajikistan, Iran, Zimbabwe and Jamaica.
The gap in recent results between the two sides is wide and consistent, not a one-off sample.
Comparative Team Statistics: India vs Brazil
Casemiro's card count
The only individual detail on record is Casemiro's disciplinary history: two yellow cards in his last four appearances for Brazil. That's not enough to say he's suspended or unavailable here, but it's a note worth keeping in mind given how often he's booked lately.

Friendly context, wide gap on paper
On the numbers alone, this looks one-sided. Brazil have been winning regularly against a broad mix of opposition, including a deep World Cup run, while India have struggled for results against sides nearer their own level.
Friendlies like this one can still throw up surprises. Squads can look different from what recent results suggest, and there's nothing here confirming who actually plays or how seriously either side treats the fixture.

The recent form clearly favours Brazil, and there's nothing in India's results to suggest they're about to turn that around against a side of this calibre. But form alone doesn't give us a market to assess.
With no odds or lines to look at, we're passing on this one rather than picking a side from the numbers alone.
Who will win?
