Overview
- Brazil, which named Matheus Cunha and Casemiro in the starting XI on Wednesday, will line up in a 4-2-3-1 for their Group C match in Miami.
- Cunha starts up front after scoring twice against Haiti and is being relied on to finish chances in place of the injured wide options.
- Neymar has recovered from a calf problem and is available on the substitutes bench rather than being an automatic starter.
- Raphinha is ruled out through injury, reducing Brazil's attacking depth and shaping Ancelotti's choice to back Cunha as the focal striker.
- Alisson remains the first-choice goalkeeper and a settled centre-back pairing gives defensive stability as Brazil look to secure three points to improve their group standing.
