India v Brazil in Kolkata this Saturday, 11:00 Brasília time | OneFootball

Brazil face India at Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata on Saturday, kick-off 11:00 Brasília time, in their third friendly since the World Cup and the last of this Super Data FIFA window.

According to Coluna Do Fla, Rede Globo will show the match free-to-air, with SportTV and GeTV on YouTube also broadcasting.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side have just played twice against Australia, drawing 1-1 in the first game. They then won 4-2 in the second.

Ancelotti said he still has doubts over the line-up, and confirmed only Coritiba goalkeeper Pedro Morisco as a starter.

Two Flamengo players are available to him, Pedro and Samuel Lino, and the pair are pushing for more minutes.

Both began on the bench against Australia. Pedro featured for 26 minutes in the first match, while Samuel Lino played 26 and 7 minutes across the two games.

The coach views the India game as a chance to assess players, but stressed it is not just any friendly and is important for improvement at the start of a new cycle.

The Super Data FIFA combines the former September and October windows into a single 16-day period, with club football paused from 21 September to 6 October.
