Brazil-Switzerland, the probable formations

Likely lineups

Brazil and Switzerland take on each other on the second day of Group G after victories came against Serbia (2-0) and Cameroon (1-0), respectively. The match is scheduled for 5 p.m. Italian time at Stadium 974 in Doha.

Tite has to deal with the heavy absences of Danilo and Neymar: Dani Alves and Rodrygo are candidates to take their places. Up front Richarlison is confirmed after his double with Serbia, with Raphinha, the aforementioned Rodrygo and Vinicius behind him.

Yakin gives full confidence to the lineup that beat Cameroon: on the flanks space for former Udinese player Widmer and Grenadian Rodriguez, midfield lineup composed of Atalanta’s Freuler and Xhaka. In attack there will still be Embolo, with the Shaqiri-Sow-Vargas trident acting behind him.

Likely lineups.

BRAZIL (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Alex Sandro; Paquetà, Casemiro; Raphinha, Rodrygo, Vinicius; Richarlison. Ct. Tite

SWITZERLAND (4-2-3-1): Sommer; Widmer, Akanji, Elvedi, Rodriguez; Xhaka, Freuler; Shaqiri, Sow, Vargas; Embolo. Ct. Yakin
