The Brazilian team is preparing for a decisive clash this Wednesday (24), seeking to guarantee its passage to the round of 16 of the World Cup.
To secure a place in the next stage, the Brazilian team needs a simple draw against Scotland. However, the squad led by Carlo Ancelotti aims for more than qualification, focusing on preserving the perfect performance and sealing the stage with another triumph, which could be crucial for the fight for better positions in the tournament’s future bracket.
The Hora 1 program revealed the formation that the team should present for this crucial clash. Coach Carlo Ancelotti confirmed a change in the offensive sector, however, without the return of Neymar or the inclusion of Endrick in the starting team.
Details about the likely line-up for the clash
The expected formation for the duel should be as follows:
- Alisson will occupy the goal.
- In defense, Danilo will be the right back, consolidating his position over Ibañez. The defense duo will be formed by Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães, with Douglas Santos on the left flank.
- The midfield will feature the usual presence of Casemiro and Bruno Guimarães.
- The main surprise in the attack is Rayan, chosen to replace the injured Raphinha. He will join Lucas Paquetá, Matheus Cunha and Vini Júnior, forming the offensive quartet. It is important to note that Matheus Cunha and Vini Júnior are the team’s top scorers in this World Cup, both with two goals scored.
Attention also turns to the players who will be on the bench. Neymar is once again among those called up and could emerge as a reinforcement for the Seleção during the match. The number 10, already recovered, has a good chance of entering the field in the second half. Another athlete who can be used by Ancelotti is Endrick, who competes for a place in the attack and represents one of the alternatives to change the outlook of the match in the final phase.
The venue for the clash between Brazil and Scotland will be in Miami, a location traditionally used for major sporting events. The live broadcast will be carried out by Globo, with the pre-game starting at 6:45 pm and the kickoff scheduled for 7 pm, considering the Brasilia time zone.
