Brazil vs. Senegal live score: Selecao look for first win over the Lions of Teranga at Emirates Stadium
Brazil and Senegal will sound the starting pistol on their World Cup preparations in London on Saturday.
Both sides have already secured their spots at next year’s finals in North America going into a showpiece friendly at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium.
Brazil are still adapting to life under Carlo Ancelotti and stumbled through the gruelling CONMEBOL qualification phase at times. Senegal topped their group in the CAF section as they won seven and drew three of 10 matches.
The Lions of Teranga are one of the few international teams to have played Brazil and never lost to them, claiming a draw and a victory from their previous two friendly meetings.
