Brazil national football team will face Japan in the 1/16 finals of the 2026 World Cup.
İdman.Biz reports, citing "Sports Illustrated", that the first stage of the playoffs may not be easy for the team that finished first in Group C. Brazil drew with Morocco in the group stage and then defeated Haiti and Scotland with the same score - 3:0.
Japan, on the other hand, has drawn attention with its unbeaten performance in the tournament. The team is considered a serious opponent for Brazil due to its confident game, character, and high-quality attacking line.
Brazilian national team coach Carlo Ancelotti has world-class strikers and experienced defenders at his disposal. The return of Neymar is also considered an additional advantage for the Italian specialist.
The probable defensive line of the team is as follows:
Goalkeeper: Alisson
Defenders: Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Douglas Santos
Gabriel's accurate passes from defense can play an important role in Brazil's game against Japan, which is putting high pressure. On the left flank, Douglas Santos is expected to start in the starting lineup.
