Flamengo can repeat feat from Brazil's first World Cup year v Morocco | OneFootball

Which Flamengo players will start in the Brazil vs Morocco match?

The Brazil National Team takes the field this Saturday (13) to face Morocco in the opening round of the World Cup group stage. Thus, with three Flamengo players in Brazil’s likely starting 11, Rubro-Negro will have a trio of starters in the ‘Seleção’ opening match for the third time in history.

According to information from ‘GE’, Danilo, Alex Sandro and Lucas Paquetá will start in the match between Brazil and Morocco. In this way, it will be the third time in World Cup history that Flamengo has had three representatives in the starting 11 of the Brazil National Team in an opening match.

This is because the same happened at the 1958 World Cup, the year Brazil won its first world title, and at the 1982 World Cup. In the first tournament, Zagallo, Dida and Joel started in the opening match, while Leandro, Júnior and Zico were in the starting 11 in Spain.

Will Léo Pereira be on the bench in the Brazil vs Morocco match?

The expectation is that Léo Pereira will begin the Brazil vs Morocco match on the bench. That is because Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães are Brazil’s starting center-backs. Therefore, the Flamengo defender could be used during the match.

What is Brazil’s probable lineup?

Carlo Ancelotti is expected to field his strongest available team against Morocco. Thus, Brazil’s probable lineup is as follows: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Raphinha, Vini Junior and Matheus Cunha.

It is worth noting that Neymar is Brazil’s only absence for this Saturday’s (13) match. The number 10 is recovering from a grade two calf injury suffered on May 17 in the match between Santos and Coritiba in the Brasileirão. As a result, the midfielder is hoping to be available for Brazil’s second World Cup match, against Haiti.

When do Brazil and Morocco face each other?

Brazil and Morocco face each other this Saturday (13) in a match valid for the opening round of the World Cup group stage. Therefore, the ball starts rolling at 7:00 PM (Brasília time) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

As tradition dictates, Coluna do Fla will bring all the details of the match between Brazil and Morocco through its website and social media. However, Globo (free-to-air TV), SporTV (pay TV), GE TV (YouTube), Cazé TV (YouTube), SBT (free-to-air TV) and N Sports (pay TV) will broadcast the Brazil National Team’s opener.
