Team news: Ancelotti leads final session before Brazil opener 🇧🇷 | OneFootball

Brazil national team head coach Carlo Ancelotti kept things under wraps during training this Friday (12) ahead of the FIFA World Cup opener.

Brazil face Morocco in a match scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday (13) at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, in Group C.

During the portion open to the press, the coaching staff did not hand out bibs — which could have indicated the national team’s likely starters.

But, according to GE and ESPN, the core of the lineup should remain unchanged, with Lucas Paquetá in midfield and Matheus Cunha up front.

So, Brazil’s likely lineup is: Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel Magalhães and Alex Sandro; Casemiro, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Raphinha, Vini Jr. and Matheus Cunha.

If that lineup is confirmed, Endrick will start on the bench.

Ancelotti will hold a press conference later this Friday (12), starting at 5:30 p.m., and may offer some clues about the lineup.

In addition to Brazil and Morocco, Group C also includes Haiti and Scotland, who face off at 10 p.m. on Saturday (13).
