Why you should back Brazil

With Neymar out of the lineup, Brazil has numerous other scoring options. Among them is Raphael Dias Belloli, better known as Raphinha.

In two seasons with the club, he has recorded 13 goals in 64 league matches.

Midfielder Lucas Paqueta is coming off a performance where he scored a goal in the 65th minute on three shots, including one on target, in the win over Paraguay. He had five shots in the 0-0 draw with Costa Rica on June 24. The 26-year-old has been a member of the national team since 2018 and has 11 goals in 48 appearances.
