Brazil aim win against Serbia as they eye last 16
Kick-off : 9:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Spartak Stadium, Moscow
Brazil has have not had the best of world cups so far for them. Only four points from 2 games means that they have not played their best football yet. But I expect them to correct that and qualify for next round with a bit of a flair.
Serbia game will definitely test them but they are a far superior side and should come out with flying colors. They should not be complacent also.
On the other hand, Serbia themselves have the chance to qualify for next round and will be hoping for an unlikely win over mighty Brazil. Serbia are a good side but surely playing Brazil will be a harder task and they will have to give their all.
Brazil have previously played Serbia as Yugoslavia and they have a better record against them and on Wednesday night they would like to live up to the expectations.
Team news and possible line-ups
Serbia are unlikely to alter their playing XI from the previous match for Brazil game.
As for Brazil, Roberto Firmino and Danilo are both available and might get a place in the starting XI.
Serbia XI : Stojkovic, Ivanovic, Milenkovic, Tosic, Kolarov, Milivojevic, Matic, Tadic, Milinkovic-Savic, Ljajic, Mitrovic.
Brazil XI : Alisson, Danilo, Silva, Miranda, Marcelo, Casemiro, Paulinho, Coutinho, Willian, Neymar, Firmino.
Prediction
I expect it to be a tough game as both the teams will be after progression. But in the end I expect Brazil to win this match. I think they are gonna win 2-0 with goals from Neymar and Coutinho.
