England have won just four of their 26 matches against Brazil (D11 L11). This 15%-win ratio is England’s worst against any nation they’ve faced at least three times, while they’ve only lost more games against Scotland (41), Wales (14) and Germany (13) than Brazil (11).

Brazil have won two of their 12 matches against England at Wembley (D7 L3), winning 1-0 in May 1981 and 3-1 in June 1995. This is their first game there against the Three Lions since November 2017, a goalless draw.

England have won their first match of the calendar year in 10 of the last 11 years, including the last six in a row. Their other game in this run was a 1-0 defeat to Germany in 2017.

England are unbeaten in their last 20 matches at Wembley, their longest unbeaten run at the national stadium since a 24-game run between 1984 and 1990. Their most recent defeat at Wembley was in the UEFA Nations League in October 2020 against Denmark, a 1-0 loss.

Brazil have won 10 of their last 11 friendly matches against European nations (D1), scoring 25 goals and conceding only four times. The last European team to beat them in a friendly was Switzerland in August 2013.

Brazil have lost their last three matches, losing to Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay side, Colombia and then Argentina, all in World Cup qualifiers. They’ve not lost four games in a row since June/July 2001.

Under Gareth Southgate, England have faced 42 different nations and beaten 39 of them. The only three he’s faced but not won against (excluding penalty shootout wins) are France (L2), Brazil (D1) and Colombia (D1).

Harry Kane has scored in each of his last five home appearances for England, netting seven goals (five at Wembley, two at Old Trafford). The only two players in England’s history to score in six consecutive appearances on English soil are Steve Bloomer (seven in a row, 1895-99, at seven different stadiums) and Wayne Rooney (seven, 2014-16, six at Wembley, one at the Stadium of Light).
