TEAM NEWS

Brazil will make two changes from the side that beat the Ivory Coast. Kaka is suspended so former Arsenal player Julio Baptista will replace him and Dani Alves is expected to play in place of the injured Elano.
Suspended: Kaka (Brazil). One booking from suspension: Almeida, Mendes, Ronaldo (Portugal); Ramires (Brazil)
