Brazil is one of the
favourites
to win the World Cup

Brazil is named by many as one of the favourites to win the World Cup at Russia this year, and the Canarinho sit first on their group table ahead of Switzerland, Serbia, and Costa Rica. However, that doesn't mean that the team has claimed a spot in the pre-quarters.

A draw against Serbia or at least a Switzerland defeat against Costa Rica, would be enough for the South American side to qualify. But what if both those results don't go Brazil's way?

If Serbia manages to get a win against the Selecao and Switzerland gets the three points against Costa Rica, who are yet to score a goal in the tournament, it will signal the end of Brazil's World Cup campaign.

Although the chances of this happening is too low, it could be one of the biggest upsets of this term's World Cup if it does occur.
