Playmaker Lucas Lima and 35-year-old striker Ricardo Oliveira, both key players at Santos, should start in Brazil’s third World Cup qualifier against Argentina in Buenos Aires.
The match was supposed to take place on Thursday night, but due to heavy rain, the referee decided that the match will be postponed to Friday. According to Globo Esporte, Ricardo Oliveira will keep his place in the XI, while Lucas Lima, who came on as a substitute for Chelsea’s Oscar against Venezuela, will start at the Monumental. Douglas Costa will lose his place in the starting line-up following the return of captain Neymar from suspension. In goal, Internacional’s 23-year-old goalkeeper Álisson, who started in the previous game, will maintain his place. The report states that Dunga was disappointed with the performances of veteran goalie Jefferson during Copa América and in the qualifying game with Chile.
Brazil should start the match with: Álisson; Daniel Alves, João Miranda, David Luiz, Filipe Luís; Luiz Gustavo, Elias, Lucas Lima; Willian, Ricardo Oliveira, Neymar.
