Brazil coach Tite decides to retain the same starting lineup for his side's World Cup encounter with Serbia.

Brazil coach Tite has decided to retain the same starting lineup for his side's World Cup encounter with Serbia.

The South American nation needed added-on time to secure a 2-0 victory over Costa Rica in their second match in Group E, but Tite has opted to keep faith in the players from that game.

Tite's decision means that Gabriel Jesus continues in attack ahead of Roberto Firmino, while Miranda and Thiago Silva remain in the centre of defence.

As for Serbia, boss Mladen Krstajic has moved to make three alterations to his starting lineup, with Branislav Ivanovic one of the players to miss out.

Dusko Tosic and Luka Milivojevic also begin the contest on the bench, with Antonio Rukavina, Milos Veljkovic and Adem Ljajic all being included.

Brazil need a point to guarantee progress into the last 16, while Serbia must push for three points.

Serbia: Stojkovic; Rukanina, Milenkovic, Veljkovic, Kolarov; Milinkovic-Savic, Matic; Tadic, Ljaijic, Kostic; Mitrovic

Brazil: Alisson; Fagner, Silva, Miranda, Marcelo; Casemiro, Paulinho; Willian, Coutinho, Neymar; Jesus
