USA - Brazil. Predicted line-ups and latest news

On the night of 13 June, the USA and Brazil will finish their preparations for the America's Cup with a friendly match.

The teams approach this meeting with different results in the previous sparring. On 9 June, the U.S. defeated Colombia 1:5, but the "Seleção" in the first control meeting on the same day won a difficult, but still a victory over Mexico 3:2.

Obviously, after such tough matches, the coaches of both teams may resort to rotating the squad to ensure that as many players as possible get game practice before the start of the America's Cup.

For the match against Colombia, U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter fielded a starting eleven made up entirely of players who have played at club level in the top five European leagues, and for the sparring match against Brazil he is prepared to select the same starting eleven, but with a few changes.

Celtic's Cameron Carter-Vickers could step into the centre-back position in place of Chris Richards or Tim Ream, while Tyler Adams, who had a disappointing 2023-24 season at Bournemouth with injuries, will hope to get some minutes and could replace Jonny Cardoso in midfield.

Christian Pulisic is just two goals away from moving into fifth place on the USA's all-time top scorer list and is expected to continue playing on the left, while Ricardo Pepi, Hadji Wright and Brendan Aaronson are among the strikers who are in contention to return to the first team squad.

As for Brazil, Real Madrid duo Vinícius Júnior and Rodrigo could get game time after returning to the national team. They didn't play in the game against Mexico, which was overlaid by the Blancos celebrating their Champions League win.

Andreas Pereira celebrated his first goal for the national team last game and the Fulham playmaker will be keen to retain his place in midfield, although Lucas Paqueta, Bruno Guimarães and Joao Gomes could return to the starting line-up.

Centre-backs Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhães are expected to come on as substitutes, while Danilo and Wendell could return to the supporting midfield position.

Based on these facts, the Dailysports team has prepared predicted line-ups for the USA vs Brazil match.
