Ancelotti is aware that Scotland will provide a stern test for his side, and singled out two players in Steve Clarke’s squad that have the capacity to upset Brazil’s rhythm. “It will be a difficult game. Scotland has quality, they are fighters, they are well organised,” he said. “They have good players, (Scott) McTominay, (John) McGinn that are experienced players. Easy games at the World Cup were finished a long time ago. We are ready to play a difficult game.”
Brazil can secure top spot in Group C with a victory, and history is on their side against Scotland, who have failed to beat the Selecao in each of their previous four World Cup meetings, losing three.
