After beating England at the new Wembley for the very first time, Dorival Junior's youthful Brazil go in search of a maiden victory over Spain on their opponents' home turf in Tuesday's upcoming friendly.
The two nations haven't faced off in over a decade, with Brazil dominating the head-to-head standings. Spain have only beaten the Selecao once since their 3-1 victory at the 1934 World Cup.
Luis de la Fuente's current outfit head into the midweek friendly at the Bernabeu having been beaten by South American opposition last time out. Spain succumbed to a wonderful Colombian goal on Friday night at the London Stadium — their first defeat in a year.
Brazil endured a miserable 2023 but spirits will be high heading into the 2024 Copa America if they secure another historic victory on Tuesday night.
Here's preview of this high-profile international friendly.

Spain are, of course, without midfield stars Pedri and Gavi, but De la Fuente should have the same complement of players available to him from Friday's defeat.
There should be several changes to this XI. Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal could occupy the flanks with Alvaro Morata poised to lead the line. Rodri, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Carvajal are other experienced options likely to come back into the side.
