Key players to watch out for:
Brazil: Brazil have a star-studded team and have plenty of squad depth. However, their key player will be Neymar who needs just two goals to level Pele's record for most goals scored for the Selecao.
Serbia: Serbia have a brilliant squad as well. They have several players who can make life difficult for Brazil. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will be their key player and will be looking to dominate the midfield area.
Dream 11 Prediction:
Serbia have a pretty strong side but on paper, they do not have what it takes to contain Brazil. We predict a 3-1 win for the Selecao
