Brazil plays Panama at the Maracana as its last home match before traveling to the World Cup. The Selecao target a sixth World Cup title, with the last win coming in 2002, and expectations have risen under head coach Carlo Ancelotti. Brazil’s Group C includes Morocco, Scotland, and Haiti, and the team is expected to advance in North America despite Neymar’s calf injury. A strong result versus Panama would help morale ahead of a tougher friendly against Egypt in Cleveland. Panama will attend a World Cup finals for only the second time, having lost all three group matches in 2018, and they aim to frustrate Brazil. Brazil will miss Neymar, Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli, and Marquinhos due to injuries and Champions League final involvement, while Panama captain Anibal Godoy has a knock and goalkeeper Luis Mejia has a muscle injury.
