Brazil (1-1-0, 4 points) vs. Serbia (1-0-1, 3 points)

Group E, Spartak Stadium, Moscow

Brazil is a clear favorite not only to win Group E, but the entire tournament with international stars at nearly every position.

But its brightest star, Neymar, is not at the top of his game after sitting out three months with a foot injury — and the critics have noticed. Pressure seems to be mounting on the 26-year-old, who wept after his team’s late win over Costa Rica, although he later ascribed the tears to “joy” on his Instagram account.
