Brazil v Belarus

Men's Olympic Football Group C

Old Trafford

Sunday, July 29th 2012, 15:00 BST

Teams:

Brazil: Neto, Rafael, Thiago Silva, Juan Jesus, Sandro, Marcelo, Romulo, Oscar, Neymar, Hulk, Pato.

Belarus: Gutor, Dragun, Kuzmenok, Politevich, Baga, Kornilenko, Bardini, Kozlov, Aleksievich, Gordeichuk, Polyakov.

Preview:

Brazil take on Belarus this afternoon at Old Trafford in a Group C game in the Men's Olympic Football at the London 2012 Olympics.

Brazil coach Mano Menezes is unlikely to make changes to the side that beat Egypt 3-2 in their opening game.

That means new Chelsea signing Oscar is likely to start for the South Americans, along with the likes of his now former Internacional team-mate Leandro Damiao, Santos striker Neymar, and Porto forward Hulk.

Manchester United right-back Rafael impressed in the first game and is likely to retain his place in the starting line-up.

Belarus beat New Zealand 1-0 in their opening Group C game and could stick with the same starting XI for today's encounter.
