Brazil have not had the opening to the World Cup that was expected of them. Their recent clash with Costa Rica was saved due to two very late goals scored in injury time.
Brazil forward Neymar has come under fire recently after his performances in the Russia so far. He has struggled the team’s previous matches against Switzerland and Costa Rica.
Serbia recently lost to Switzerland 2-1 after conceding a goal in the 90th minute of their match on Friday. Although it will be an uphill battle Serbia are still in the running for a place in the round of 16.
