Labeled as the 2018 World Cup's favorite, Brazil is playing against one of the best team during the qualification campaign, Switzerland on June 17. Both of the team were brilliant during the selection process. The South American side lost only one match conceding 5 goals in 21 games played while the European underdogs have lost only one game on 17 occasions since Euro 16.
Brazilian team has a great boost with the return of Neymar. However, the head coach Tite will have difficulties to pick his starting XI as the team is filled with talented players. Man City attacker Gabriel Jesus is likely to start ahead of the Liverpool star Roberto Firmino with Willian on the other side of the line.
The match will kick off at 7 pm BST at Rostov Arena, Rostov-On-Don.
