Saudi Arabia is definitely eliminated. Meanwhile, to ensure themselves qualify for the quarter-finals, Brazil only needs a draw.
In their first match, Brazil beat Germany 4-2 through a Richarlison hat-trick and a Paulinho goal. However, Brazil then experienced a bit of an anticlimactic and could only draw 0-0 with Ivory Coast.
On the other hand, Saudi Arabia lost to Ivory Coast 1-2 and Germany 2-3 respectively. Their chances of qualifying for the knockout phase were gone.
Brazil and Ivory Coast both have four points, while Germany have three. Saudi Arabia is bottom with no points.
Only two teams from each group are eligible to advance to the next round. Brazil’s opportunities are believed to be very open.

Prediction
On paper, Brazil is the favorite to win. However, even though this opponent is definitely eliminated, Brazil still has to be vigilant.
Despite losing their two matches, Saudi Arabia can always put up a tough fight. Ivory Coast and Germany they forced to work hard before winning.
If Brazil played disciplined in defense and sharper in attack, they could secure victory.
