Brazil vs Serbia live: World Cup score, highlights, result from 2022 Group G match

Five-time World Cup winners Brazil will hope to extend their run of 15 unbeaten group matches as they take on Serbia in their Group G opener at Qatar’s Lusail Stadium.

Tite’s men have only lost three games since Belgium knocked them out of the 2018 World Cup quarterfinals, their most recent defeat coming all the way back in July 2021 in the Copa America final.

Tite is the first coach since Tele Santana in the 1980s to lead the Selecao into successive World Cups, and he has selected an attack-focused squad as he seeks to guide his country to a first World Cup title since 2002.

Serbia have never been beyond the group stage in their three World Cup finals appearances, and they are expected to battle it out with Switzerland and Cameroon for second place in Group G, assuming Brazil emerge as group winners.

Brazil are unbeaten in their last 15 World Cup group games, winning 12 of those matches and drawing three of them.

4 hrs from kickoff: “It took four years of total preparation, focus and hard work,” Brazil’s social media accounts declared yesterday. “Now our time has come.”

4.5 hrs from kickoff: Serbia are unbeaten in six matches since their 1-0 defeat at home to Norway on June 2, winning five times during that run.

Brazil vs Serbia projected lineups

Photographs from a Brazil training session leaked by Marca suggested Vinicius Junior is primed for a starting berth against Serbia, who topped a qualifying group featuring Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. 

Raphinha is set to line up on the opposite flank, while it’s been reported that Manchester United midfielder Fred will be left on the bench.

Brazil probable (4-1-4-1, right to left): 1. Alisson (GK) — 2. Danilo, 3. Silva, 4. Marquinhos, 6. Alex Sandro — 5. Casemiro — 11. Raphinha, 7. Paqueta, 10. Neymar, 20. Vinicius Jr — 9. Richarlison

Serbia’s star forwards Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic suffered injuries earlier this season but have both returned to fitness. However, Juventus’ Filip Kostic is a doubt with unspecified muscular problems.

Serbia probable (4-3-3, right to left): 1. Dmitrovic (GK) — 14. Zivkovic, 4. Milenkovic, 2. Pavlovic, 25. Mladenovic — 13. S. Mitrovic, 24. IIic, 8. Gudelj — 10. Tadic, 9. A. Mitrovic, 20. Milinkovic-Savic
