Odds-on favorite Brazil face strong Serbia in World Cup opener

Brazil are the odds-on favorite to win the World Cup. They are full of young players, with 16 making their World cup debut. Tite is unsure about his team selection for the match against Serbia. Serbia won six of their six games and drew two to qualify for Qatar World Cups. Serbia have never moved past the group stages at the tournament since the breakup of Yugoslavia. The team won promotion to League A with a 2-0 away win over Norway. It is in a strong Group G that also includes Switzerland and Cameroon. Brazil won 37 of the 50 games played since their 2018 Worldcup quarter-final loss to Belgium in Russia.
