Given that they are sauntering away with things at the top of the table, it’s not hard to imagine that avoiding defeat is going to be their big focus.

Brazil have lost one game since December 2019, which was this year’s Copa America final to Argentina.
The last two defeats that they have suffered have been against this rival.

Who knows how much either of these are really going to be going for it.
