The Lusail Ikonik Stadium in Lusail will host the first leg of Group G of the 2022 World Cup on Thursday, 24 November, at 22:00 Moscow time, when the national teams of Brazil and Serbia will face each other. According to bookmakers, the Brazilian side is the clear favourite to win this encounter. It is clear to see why this is the verdict since Brazil is currently one of the strongest sides in this tournament. However, will the Serbs be able to mount a good defence against one of the most fearsome sides of this year's World Cup?
Suggested line-up:
Scheme 4-2-3-1
Goalkeeper: Alisson (Liverpool)
Defence: Marchinho (PSG), Militao (Real Madrid), Telles (Sevilla), Danilo (Juventus)
Midfield: Fabinho (Liverpool), Casemiro (Manchester United), Anthony (Manchester United), Neymar (PSG), Paqueta (West Ham)
Attack: Jesus (Arsenal)
The Brazilian national team is on the list of top favourites at every Mundial. But, since 2002, the Seleção have not been able to win the coveted trophy. The Brazilians finished in the quarter-finals at the 2006, 2010 and 2018 World Cups before finishing just fourth at their 2014 domestic World Cup. However, the Brazilian national team is now in full swing. In the qualifying cycle, the Pentacampeones scored 40 goals and did not lose a match. The current state of Tite's team allows them to be regarded as the main favourite in the upcoming tournament.

Suggested line-up:
3-5-2 formation
Goalkeeper: Raikovic (Mallorca)
Defence: Milenkovic (Fiorentina), Pavlovic (Salzburg), Veljkovic (Werder)
Midfield: Zivkovic (PAOK), Tadic (Ajax), Gudel (Sevilla), Milinkovic-Savic (Lazio), Kostic (Juventus)
Offence: Vlahović (Juventus), Mitrović (Fulham)
The Serbian national team looked excellent in the qualifying stage and made it through without defeat, beating a resilient Portugal in the decisive match. It was the second time in a row that Serbia qualified for the championship. At the previous World Cup in Russia, the Serbian team were in a similar group as they are now. Its opponents were the same teams of Brazil and Switzerland, as well as the team of Costa Rica, replaced by Cameroon at this Mundial. Of course, Brazil has no real rivals in this quartet, but in the matches against Switzerland and Cameroon, Stojkovic's men must fight for points.
The bookmakers see Brazil as the favourite to win. The odds are 1/2 to win for Brazil.
Betting on the victory of the Serbian national team can increase your bankroll by 590%. The bookmakers' odds for a win for Serbia is 59/10.
The Brazilian team likes and knows how to beat their opponents in a big way. Therefore, for fans of handicap betting, we recommend considering the Brazilian Victory with Handicap (-1) – 41/50. For Serbian fans, there is also an exciting bet on Serbia's victory with a handicap (+1.5) – 59/100.
The Brazilian side's matches are usually productive, with few exceptions, and the upcoming game also promises to bring a lot of goals. Therefore, the best bet on totals is Total more than 2.5 goals (Over 2.5) – 17/20.
The Brazilian and Serbian national teams have faced each other twice in their history. The 2014 friendly match between these two sides ended in a 1-0 win for Brazil, while the 2018 World Cup group-stage encounter was won more convincingly by the Seleção, with 2-0.
Bookmakers believe Brazil are the main favourite to win the upcoming World Cup. The odds for this event are 9/2. On the other hand, the Serbian team has very little chance of winning the World Cup, with an odds of 150/1.
Brazil will start the tournament with a win and is expected to dominate the Serbian team completely.

Serbia has a small 1% chance of winning this match compared to Brazil’s 99% Serbia’s odds are 151 at 1xBet – betting on those odds will bring you a net profit of 15000%, but it’s a risky bet.
