England vs Brazil is a fixture that has taken place 26 times before. The Three Lions’ record against the South American giants is not the best though.
England have beaten Brazil on just four occasions, drawing 11 and losing the other 11 times.
The two team’s most famous encounter came during the quarter-finals of the 2002 South Korea and Japan World Cup. Despite Michael Owen giving England the lead after just 23 minutes, the Three Lions, managed by Sven-Goran Eriksson, lost the game 2-1 following two quick-fire goals from Rivaldo and Ronaldinho.
There are some positives for Southgate to take ahead of this weekend’s clash though — England are unbeaten in their last three fixtures against Brazil including a 2-1 friendly win back in February 2013.
