Team news & rosters

PositionBrazil roster
Goalkeepers Brenno, Lucao, Santos*
Defenders Nino, Ricardo Graca, Guilherme Arana, Gabriel Menino, Dani Alves*, Diego Carlos*, Abner Vinicius, Bruno Fuchs
Midfielders Matheus Henrique, Bruno Guimaraes, Douglas Luiz, Claudinho, Reinier
Forwards Gabriel Martinelli, Paulinho, Richarlison, Matheus Cunha, Antony, Malcom

Having bagged an opening hat-trick to hand Andre Jardine's side a 4-2 victory earlier this week against Germany, Richarlison looks almost certain to retain his place for the Selecao.

With the title won on home soil five years ago at stake, there is likely to be little tinkering with a winning formula, particularly at the back where captain Dani Alves - the oldest men's player at the tournament, at 38 - can help control the tempo of the game.

Predicted Brazil starting XI:  Santos; Dani Alves, Nino, Diego Carlos, Arana; Douglas Luiz, Bruno Guimaraes; Antony, Claudinho, Richarlison; Matheus Cunha.

PositionIvory Coast roster
Goalkeepers Nagoli, Tape, Tie
Defenders Gnaka, Bailly*, Dabila, Ismael Diallo, Singo, Ouattara, Kouao
Midfielders Doumbia, Kessie*, Kouassi, Timite
Forwards Dao, Amad Diallo, Kouame, Keita, Guiagon, Gradel*, Doumbia

There is the potential for a Manchester United double act for Soualiho Haidara's side again, after both Eric Bailly and Amad Diallo started the victory against Saudi Arabia.

The former is likely to be included among Les Elephants' other two overage players in AC Milan man Franck Kessie - who netted the matchwinner in their opener - and Sivasspor's Max Gradel, skippering his country six years on from a vital role in their 2015 Africa Cup of Nations success.

Predicted Ivory Coast starting XI:  Tape; Singo, Dabila, Bailly, Ismael Diallo; Kouassi, Doumbia; Amad Diallo, Kessie, Gradel; Kouame.
