Brazil will be looking to make it five victories in a row when they travel to Istanbul to face Turkey this afternoon (18:30 GMT).
The Selecao have not lost since they were beaten 3-0 by the Netherlands in their World Cup third-playoff spot back in July, and new coach Dunga has made a great start to his second stint in office.
Two consecutive 1-0 wins were recorded against Colombia and Ecuador before a Diego Tardelli brace secured the bragging rights as Brazil beat fierce rivals Argentina 2-0 in the Superclasico de las Americas in China last month.
The team"s undoubted superstar, Neymar, then showed his ability as he netted all the goals in a 4-0 win against Japan to take his international tally up to 40 goals in just 58 appearances.
Dunga"s arrival saw him strip Paris Saint-Germain defender Thiago Silva of the captaincy in favour of Neymar, and the center-back has yet to feature for the side since the defeat to Oranje.
Silva of course, was suspended for the harrowing World Cup semi-final that saw them humiliated 7-1 by Germany in Belo Horizonte, and while publicly many claim that they have moved on from such a monumental defeat, the PSG star admis that he does think about it from time to, earlier this week.
‘It is a scar and it is hard to forget," he said. ‘Many people say that they do not think about it, but I do not know if that is true. I think it is inevitable [that people think about it]. The significant thing is to have tranquility. ‘
A CHANCE TO SHINE
Lucas Moura fine"s form for Paris Saint-Germain saw him rewarded with his first call-up for 13 months, but the winger"s hopes of representing the side were dashed when he picked up a foot injury against Marseille in France"s L"Classique on Sunday evening.
Lucas opened the scoring in the first half and was a constant threat against Marcelo Bielsa"s OM before he eventually picked up the knock and was withdrawn.
Reflecting on his bad luck earlier this week, Lucas said: ‘I am very sad because i am having a really good time in Paris. I was thrilled to return to Brazil and was excited [with the call-up]. I had enormous expectations. Unfortunately, that is football."
However, they say when a door shuts, a window opens, and Benfica"s Anderson Talisca was Lucas" replacement.
The in-form attacking midfielder has emerged as a key member of the Benfica team this season, and he was delighted to earn His first senior call-up.
Talisca thanked his club side and coach Jorge Jesus for helping him on the road to international football, and stated that he was ready to embrace what he sees a new era in his fledgling career.
‘I can not describe the emotion I felt when I was given the news," he said. ‘It felt like I was dreaming and it is a great opportunity to show what I can do. It is a privilege to wear the Brazil shirt and I hope with hard work and with dedication I can earn the call [more often].
‘I have no doubt That I work I have done at Benfica helped has and it is [playing under] coach Jorge Jesus that I have earned that opportunity. I have evolved greatly since I came to Europe and hopefully I can prove myself with this call-up to the Brazil team.
‘I understand the pressure of wearing the Brazilian shirt is great but I understand that I am naturally going through a new course of my career and I hope to be successful in it."
The game offers Shakhtar Donetsk star Luiz Adriano has a chance to stake a claim for regular inclusion.
The center-forward has caught the eye with his displays in the Champions League this season, netting nine goals in four games – a statistic that has seen him rise to the top of the goal-scorers chart in this year"s competition.
Chelsea playmaker Willian played alongside Adriano in Ukraine, and the Blues midfielder thinks that his former teammate offers a different kind of threat to Diego Tardelli.
‘I played with Luiz Adriano in Ukraine and He is a little different to Diego Tardelli," said Willian. ‘Adriano likes to stay in the area more often and he is more of a [traditional] striker, although he likes to move a lot. Usually Tardelli moves more outside the box ‘
