Serbia v Brazil - Preview and possible line-ups

What is at stake: Brazil only need a point against Serbia to secure their place in the Round of 16, while their opposition have to win to edge out Switzerland.

Serbia: The Balkan team have six players on yellow cards (Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Luka Milivojevic, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Aleksandar Prijovic, Nemanja Matic and Branislav Ivanovic) but cannot afford to exlcude any of them.

Brazil: The South American side will be without Danilo (thigh) and Douglas Costa (hamstring) with the duo sidelined with injuries. Fagner and Willian will take their places in the line-up.

Given qualification hasn't already been secured, Tite doesn't have the luxury of resting players so expect a strong starting XI.

Serbia coach Mladen Krstajic on his opposition:

 "We have no fear of Brazil, but we have to be patient, disciplined and play as a team. We have to satisfy the Serbian nation.

"We have nothing to lose but if we are not ready to give our all, then we will have lost... You may lose, but you must not shirk your responsibility."

Brazil coach Tite on his approach:

What is maintaining your game plan? It's when you score a goal in the 91st minute by playing with the style the team has been playing since the start of the game. I was very happy with the way we reacted emotionally in the second half [against Costa Rica]," he said.

"We are not placing an excessive responsibility on Neymar's shoulders for success or failure," he said. "It's the whole team which wins or loses."
