As one of the tournament favorites, Brazil will be determined to get off to a winning start at the World Cup when they take on Serbia on Thursday.
With the likes of Neymar, Casemiro, Fred, Thiago Silva, and Alisson in their ranks, the Selecao are looking strong heading into their first game of the competition.
But Tite’s men begin with a tough test against a stubborn Serbia side who finished top of their qualifying group ahead of Portugal and were excellent in the UEFA Nations League this year.

The South Americans are in excellent form heading into this game, too, having gone 15 games without defeat.

With the likes of Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic in their ranks, they will be able to threaten most teams in this competition.
