India host Brazil in an International Friendly on 3 October 2026, with the numbers below current as of 2 October 2026. Neither side carries a league or group standing into this fixture – this is a one-off friendly rather than a competition tie – so the focus here is squarely on each team’s recent form and their head-to-head history.
Head-to-Head Record
There are no recorded meetings between India and Brazil on file. With no shared history to draw on, this preview leans entirely on each side’s current form rather than any past pattern between the two nations.
India: Recent Form
India’s last six matches read D D L L L W, a run of one win, two draws and three losses that has brought five goals for and nine against, a goal difference built from an average of 0.83 scored and 1.5 conceded per match. Their points-per-game over this spell sits at 0.83, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of the six, and they were held scoreless twice. Five of these six matches were friendlies, so this is overwhelmingly a non-competitive sample; the lone competitive fixture was a 2-1 win over Hong Kong in the AFC Asian Cup, while the most recent outing was a 1-1 friendly draw with Panama.

Brazil: Recent Form

How India and Brazil Compare
The gap in recent output is clear: Brazil’s 2.33 goals-for average per match comfortably outstrips India’s 0.83, while Brazil’s 1.0 goals-against average is tighter than India’s 1.5. India’s recent sample is dominated by friendlies, whereas Brazil’s includes four FIFA World Cup matches alongside two friendlies, meaning the two sides’ runs are not drawn from the same level of competitive intensity. Neither team has a standing to cite in this particular fixture, so form remains the clearest point of comparison available.
