The South Americans go into the tie on the back of a morale-boosting 1-0 win over England’s Three Lions over the weekend where Real Madrid-bound wonder kid Endrick scored the all-important goal.
The goal was also his first for the Seleção in the hotly contested match which was played at the famed Wembley Stadium on Saturday.
