Brazil vs Serbia Prediction
Brazil have an excellent squad at their disposal and will be intent on making the perfect start to their World Cup campaign. With Neymar, Raphinha and Vinicius Junior in their ranks, the Selecao will likely field a lethal forward line in their first game of the tournament.
Serbia have pulled off a fair share of upsets over the past year and will need to play out of their skins to keep their opponents at bay. Brazil are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Brazil 3-1 Serbia
