The Brazilians are widely regarded as the favourites to win the World Cup in 2022, kicking off their Group G campaign against Serbia on Thursday at the Lusail Stadium. Brazil vs Serbia (BRA vs SER) will be an interesting match as these 2 teams are meeting each other for the 2nd time in the World Cup.
Brazil – Following a record-breaking CONMEBOL qualification campaign, Brazil arrived in Qatar as the only country in World Cup history to have qualified for every tournament since the first edition in 1930. The Brazilians are widely regarded as the favourite to win the World Cup and add a sixth title to their collection this year. However, the journey will not be easy because Serbia is their first difficult hurdle to overcome.
Serbia – After failing to advance past the group stage in their previous three World Cup finals since gaining independence in 1990, there is hope that Serbia will make it to the knockout rounds for the first time in Qatar. Serbia will be looking to enter their first knockout round in their history, with many European stars on the team. However, facing Brazil is not for the faint of heart, so Serbia must be precise and clinical if they are to advance to the next stage.

Dream 11 Top Picks and Player Stats
Neymar: Without a second thought, Neymar is the team’s talisman. Brazil will rely on his efficiency once more to lead the team to victory in the tournament. Neymar will be the main link between attack and defence and this possibly could be his last World Cup, Neymar will surely fulfil his duties this year. This season, Neymar has 11 goals and nine assists for PSG in Ligue 1. However, Neymar will also get a lot of support from Casemiro and Fred.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Dusan Tadic, Dusan Vlahovic: These names are very familiar to everyone and as usual they are having a huge responsibility to lead their team. Savic and Tadic are very quick on the ball and their movements will make it pretty difficult for Brazil to defend. And talking about Vlahovic, he is pretty tenacious inside the penalty area and will surely trouble Allison throughout the game.
