Both France and Brazil are looking to move past disasters at international tournaments. They have struggled to move on from older generations. This may be a meaningless friendly, but these countries will be fielding strong sides and looking to come out with a win.
Brazil are without Leandro Damiao for the visit of France to Porto Alegre, as well as the Confederations Cup, after the Internacional striker limped out of training on Thursday.
Replacing Damiao in the squad is Atletico Minieiro's Jo, formerly of Manchester City, with the forward called up to the Selecao for the first time since the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008.
Otherwise, coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is to field largely the same XI that grabbed a 2-2 draw against England in Rio de Janeiro last weekend, though Marcelo is expected to displace Filipe Luis in defence.
France coach Didier Deschamps is set to overhaul his stuttering side, with only Blaise Matuidi, Dimitri Payet and Mathieu Valbuena likely to remain from Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Uruguay in Montevideo.
The match is much more important for Brazil, as they don't have any qualification process for the World Cup. They receive an automatic bid as hosts of the tournament. Brazil has to use these friendlies to get into form for the World Cup.
Here's all the info you need to know for this massive friendly.
When: Sunday, June 9, at 3 p.m. ET
Where: Arena do Gremio, Porto Alegre, Brazil
