The 2026 World Cup round of 32 match at Houston Stadium will bring together two teams that are both undefeated, Brazil and Japan.
Based on the official line-ups released by FIFA, both coaches fielded their best lineups to maintain their perfect record and secure a ticket to the round of 16.
Brazil played with a 4-3-3 formation and continued to rely on the attacking trio of Vinicius Junior, Matheus Cunha, and Rayan in the front line.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti also maintained the duo of Bruno Guimaraes and Lucas Paqueta as the driving force of the attack, while Casemiro was tasked with maintaining balance in midfield.
Captain Marquinhos will lead the back line alongside Gabriel Magalhaes. Danilo and Douglas Santos will fill the full-back positions, while Alisson will be entrusted with guarding the goal.
Meanwhile, Samba team megastar Neymar is certain to sit on the bench and is fit to play if the situation allows.
