Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti has named an unchanged side for Monday’s World Cup round-of-32 match against Japan. Japan, on the other hand, made four changes to their team as they try to beat the five-time champions for the first time.
Lineup Details
Forward Rayan, 19, will make his second start for Brazil in place of the injured Raphinha alongside Matheus Cunha and Vinicius Jr. Neymar will start on the bench again as he continues his recovery from a calf injury.
Japan coach Hajime Moriyasu made four changes to his team, dropping Yukinari Sugawara, Ko Itakura, Ayumu Seko, and Ao Tanaka. Shogo Taniguchi, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Junya Ito, and Kaishu Sano will start in their place, with Japan playing a five-man defense.
