Brazil's position as favourites to win the 2018 FIFA World Cup will be under test when they kick off their campaign against Switzerland here on Sunday. The Brazilians travel to Russia following a convincing 3-0 victory against Austria a week ago as Neymar banished any doubts about the injury which brought his campaign with Paris Saint Germain to a premature end, reports Xinhua news agency.

He scored a quality goal with trademark stepover included, but Gabriel Jesus and Coutinho also highlighted the depth of attacking talent available to coach Tite, whose side kicks off in Russia on the back of the best run of results ever for the Brazilians going into a World Cup. Against Austria, Tite used Chelsea forward Willian to accompany Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Coutinho. Willian will probably start again here, leaving Tite to decide whether Fernandinho or Paulinho partners Casemiro in central midfield.
