Cunha scored twice against Haiti last time out and looks like the perfect striker to pull together this talented Brazil forward line with Ancelotti previously experimenting with Igor Thiago and Endrick.

Cunha is very much a confidence player and will be very eager to carry his form from the last game into this encounter. He’s capable of producing something special too, which may be needed against a Scotland side who have already shown they can be quite stubborn.

Cunha registered 12 goal contributions across 29 starts for Manchester United during the 25/26 campaign with some very convincing underlying numbers - averaging 3.24 shots per 90 and 1.22 chances created per 90.

Most of those appearances for Cunha came as a left-sided attacker, or playing just behind a central striker - he’s Brazil’s number nine in this tournament, which should give him more chances in front of goal than he gets at club level. I back him to continue to be an important player for Brazil following his brace against Haiti.

Casemiro started the tournament in proper Casemiro fashion, picking up a yellow card in the first half against Morocco from one foul.

He was taken off at half-time to ensure Brazil kept all 11 players on the pitch, but his replacement, Fabinho, committed three fouls, meaning this leg would have landed via Super Sub on that occasion.

Casemiro also committed two fouls in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Haiti last time out, and the midfield looks like a real battleground for fouls in this matchup.

Brazil don’t have a lot of dynamism in these areas; both Casemiro and Guimaraes are very good players, but they do sometimes lack the energy and athleticism to deal with quick transitions, which is something I think Scotland will target.

One of Casemiro’s main opponents here will be Lewis Ferguson, who has been very effective when it comes to winning fouls at the tournament so far - winning nine fouls across his two games, with at least 3+ fouls won in each match.

Ferguson has been outstanding for Scotland in the heart of the midfield, providing an excellent defensive base for his side.

One of the most notable aspects of his play has been his ability to win free kicks. He has picked up nine in total, which at the time of writing was the 3rd highest figure in the whole competition. The Bologna midfielder is intelligent with his body placement to win fouls, and this will be a target of his against Brazil in order to relieve pressure from the defence.

Likely head-to-head opponents include Lucas Paqueta (2.14 fouls per 90) and Bruno Guimaraes (1.11 fouls per 90).
