Brazil line-up and where to watch the friendly v Australia

Brazil line-up and where to watch the friendly v Australia Four days after the 1-1 draw in the city of Townsville, the Brazil national team returns to action this Tuesday (29) to face Australia in Brisbane. Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has prepared changes to the starting lineup and tactical setup in search of a win in the second test of this first FIFA window of the new World Cup cycle. Match Information Date and time: Tuesday, at 7 a.m. (Brasília time). Venue: Brisbane, Australia. Where to watch: TV Globo, sportv and ge tv. Referee: Yusuke Araki (Japan). After avoiding defeat only in stoppage time in the first match (with a goal from youngster Rayan), Ancelotti will make seven changes to the starting team and adopt a 4-3-3 formation. The coach’s big gamble is moving Raphinha into the center-forward role, replicating the position in which the player has stood out at Barcelona at the start of this season. The defensive system has been completely revamped with the additions of Otávio, Vanderson, Jair, Gabriel Magalhães and Mauro Júnior. In midfield, Gabriel Bontempo joins Danilo and Bruno Guimarães. During the press conference, Ancelotti played down the pressure. "The criticism affects what I think about the future zero. I really liked the young players who are here. We have a future, despite the criticism." Australia’s current moment On the Australian side, head coach Tony Popovic praised his team’s performance in the first meeting and wants to prove that the "Socceroos" can maintain a competitive level against elite national teams. According to Popovic, the biggest challenge will be making up for the squad’s lesser international experience and delivering a second straight strong performance against a Brazil side that will try to erase the poor impression left on Friday. Head-to-head This will be the 10th meeting in history between Brazil and Australia. The advantage is heavily in favor of the Brazil national team, which has six wins, two draws and only one defeat against their Oceanian rivals.
