Namibia vs Brazil Predictions - Namibia to edge Brazil in World Cup qualifier
In a highly anticipated rugby match, Namibia and Brazil face off with pride at stake. Despite past dominance in Rugby Africa qualifiers, Namibia's recent performances have shown vulnerability, notably losing to Zimbabwe and then Belgium and Samoa in the mini-tournament. On the other hand, Brazil shows marked improvement, having never been this close to qualifying for a Rugby World Cup. They delivered a tight match against Belgium and secured a series draw with Hong Kong. With such competitive spirits, Brazil is expected to cover the +14.5 handicap.
- Namibia favored but Brazil shows strong potential
- Brazil narrowly lost to Belgium, showcasing growth
- Back Brazil to cover the +14.5 handicap

Namibia vs Brazil Predictions
Namibia are favourites, but Brazil will compete strongly to continue their upward curve in world rugby. With both teams playing for pride, Brazil will look to end on a high note. I'm backing them on the +14.5 handicap.

- Brazil Form

- Brazil lost their last match by 3 points.
- Brazil have never come this close to qualifying for a Rugby World Cup.
Head to Head
Since 2007, these two sides have met just once. Namibia won 38-31.
Namibia Form
Namibia have failed to qualify for the Rugby World Cup for this first time since 1999. They have dominated the Rugby Africa qualifying section in recent history but suffered an upset earlier this year against Zimbabwe.
That defeat meant that Namibia had to come into this mini qualifying tournament to progress. In their opening game, they lost out 22-15 to Belgium. That upset was followed by a 26-8 loss last week against Samoa in a must-win game.
Prior to the qualifiers, Namibia managed a 22-19 victory over the lowly ranked Uganda but lost heavily to the Pumas and Italy.
Brazil Form
Brazil's improvement on the rugby field has been clear for all to see over the last year. They have never gotten this close to qualifying for the World Cup previously.
Unfortunately for the Brazilians, this has proven a step too far. They lost 48-10 to Samoa in their opening before a very impressive display last week saw them go down narrowly 30-27 to Belgium.
Before the qualifiers, Brazil shared a series 1-1 with Hong Kong and lost 45-17 to an Argentina A side.
Verdict
I am backing Brazil to put in another strong performance, covering the +14.5 handicap.
Brazil +14.5
