Gabriel Jesus was again preferred in Brazil's attack to Roberto Firmino while Willian kept his place on the right of midfield. Brazil coach Tite rotates the captaincy and this time the armband was given to central defender Miranda.
Serbia brought in 34-year-old right back Antonio Rukavina, defender Milos Veljkovic and forward Adem Ljajic in their bid to upset the South Americans.
