Léo Pereira and Danilo to start? Brazil line-up v Croatia | OneFootball

Carlo Ancelotti has defined the team that will take the field against Croatia

There will be a Flamengo player in Brazil’s starting lineup against Croatia this Tuesday (31) in a friendly in the United States. That’s because Léo Pereira has been confirmed in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting XI for the match, which kicks off at 9 p.m. Brasília time.

WHAT IS BRAZIL’S LINEUP FOR THE FRIENDLY?

Bento, Ibañez, Marquinhos, Léo Pereira and Douglas Santos; Casemiro and Danilo Santos; Luiz Henrique, Matheus Cunha, João Pedro and Vini Jr.

The match will be played at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, United States. Léo Pereira, Danilo and Wesley (ruled out of the national team due to injury) know the venue well. Last year, the trio was there for the Club World Cup match between Flamengo and Los Angeles (USA). On that occasion, the match ended 1-1.

LAST CALL FOR THE WORLD CUP?

It is worth noting that this will be Brazil’s last friendly before the World Cup squad announcement. On May 18, Carlo Ancelotti will reveal the final list of 26 players who will compete in the tournament. After that date, the five-time world champions will play only two more friendlies, against Panama and Egypt, before the competition begins.

WHERE TO WATCH BRAZIL VS CROATIA, AFTER ALL?

With Léo Pereira and Danilo available, Brazil will try to get back to winning ways after losing 2-1 to France last Thursday (26). The clash with Croatia is being treated as revenge, since the teams faced each other in the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup, with the Europeans coming out on top.

This Tuesday’s match (31) will be broadcast live on TV Globo across Brazil on free-to-air TV. In addition, SporTV (pay TV) and GETV (a channel on YouTube) will also show the match against Croatia. However, Coluna do Fla, on its website and social media, will provide a summary of how the match went.
