Brazil Copa America Centenario Predicted Lineup: Probable Starting 11 for the Selecao

Midfielders

Gustavo will most play a crucial role in the defensive midfielder position

Luis Gustavo and Real Madrid’s Casemiro will most probably start in the double pivot role for Brazil. The Real Madrid man has been absolutely sensational under Zidane and in the absence of Paulinho, Casemiro is most likely to start.Gustavo's running coupled with Casemiro's destroyer skills will provide great cover to the defensive back four.

In the Central attacking midfielder role, we have Liverpool's little magician Philippe Coutinho. The Brazilan has arguably been Liverpool's best player this season and his knack for something spectacular will keep the Selecao fans on the edge of their seats.Coutinho’s vision, dribbling skills and passing will be key to unlocking rival defences.

The running of Gustavo, the defensive positioning of Casemiro and the creativity of Coutinho makes the midfield of Brazil a formidable one.
