FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar LIVE: Brazil v Serbia updates as Richarlison's brace has Brazil in total control

We are just minutes away from this clash between Brazil and Serbia!

The Brazil players are certainly up for this one!

Since facing Belgium in the 2018 World Cup, Brazil have played 50 games and only one of those was against an European nation, 3-1 vs Czech Republic in March 2019.

After much speculation, Tite has went with Alisson as his goalkeeper for this one. Ederson is on the bench.

A great problem to have, some teams don't have one world-class goalkeeper, Brazil have two.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has largely silenced his critics this season, proving that he can score goals at the highest level. He has 9 goals in 12 appearances for Fulham in the Premier League and internationally he has four goals in his last two for Serbia.

Neymar Jr is just two goals shy of equalling Pele's goalscoring record for Brazil, he needs three goals to become their greatest goalscorer of all time.

If he can get off the mark tonight in Brazil's opening match, he will fancy his chances at beating Pele's record.

Tite has went with an ultra-attacking lineup to face Serbia, in the hope of blowing the opposition away. Lucas Paqueta, Raphinha, Neymar, Vinicius Junior and Richarlison are all on the pitch. On the bench they can call on the likes of Rodrygo, Gabriel Jesus and Antony.

Let's hope for some goals in this one!

Brazil have been touted as favourites to win the FIFA World Cup and complete 'mission hexa', winning a sixth FIFA World Cup.

Their last World Cup triumph came two decades ago, when the likes of Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Cafu and Roberto Carlos brought the trophy back to Brazil.

Serbia qualified for this tournament by topping their UEFA qualification group, finishing three points ahead of Portugal. They finished their campaign unbeaten, winning six of their eight games.

More recently, they are unbeaten in their last six international matches, scoring 18 and conceding five times.
