Paquetá tipped to start for Brazil v Morocco at the World Cup | OneFootball

When is the Brazil vs. Morocco match?

Paquetá played in Brazil’s last two friendlies before the World Cup and pleased coach Carlo Ancelotti. For this reason, the Flamengo player has a great chance of starting against Morocco on Saturday (13).

According to ESPN, Ancelotti liked Lucas Paquetá’s movement against Panama and Egypt. The Flamengo player was therefore able to play as a right winger and at the same time as a midfielder. For this reason, the Rubro-Negro number 20 is expected to start in the World Cup.

It is important to point out that Ancelotti still has to decide Brazil’s starting lineup for the World Cup opener. The Italian coach will have around four training sessions to assess the squad with his staff and decide which players will begin the match among the starting eleven.

Could another Flamengo player start in the Brazil vs. Morocco match?

Yes! In addition to Paquetá, Danilo could also start for Brazil against Morocco. That is because Wesley suffered a muscle injury and was ruled out of the World Cup. Therefore, the Flamengo player is the only one in that position available to Ancelotti.

When is the Brazil vs. Morocco match?

So, with the possible presence of Danilo and Paquetá, Brazil faces Morocco this Saturday (13) in the first round of the World Cup group stage. The match will therefore be played from 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time), with live coverage on Rede Globo on free-to-air TV, SporTV on pay TV, and CazéTV on YouTube.
