Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti has made seven tactical changes to his starting lineup for Tuesday’s international friendly against Australia at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, following a 1-1 draw in their previous fixture.
The primary tactical alteration sees Barcelona star Raphinha deployed in a central "false nine" role, flanked by Vinícius Júnior and young forward Rayan, while Endrick drops to the substitutes' bench. Santos midfielder Gabriel Bontempo earns his first international start alongside Danilo and Bruno Guimarães in midfield. Ancelotti also overhauled his defensive line, bringing in goalkeeper Otávio alongside Vanderson, Jair, Gabriel Magalhães, and Mauro Júnior—replacing Hugo Souza, Matheuzinho, Marquinhos, Vitor Reis, and Douglas Santos from the opening match's lineup.
