Match Preview
Brazil will look to register a morale-boosting World Cup qualifying win when they host Ecuador tomorrow night.
Coach Dorival Jnr named a much-changed squad for the clash with eight members of the group that reached the quarter-finals of the Copa America before losing to Uruguay on penalties left out. Seventeen-year-old striker Estêvão, who is set to join Chelsea next year from Palmeiras, was included for the first time.
Brazil are sixth in the group standings, the final automatic qualifying spot, after suffering three successive defeats, albeit the last one came last November.
Ecuador are one place and one point better off. They also reached the quarters at the Copa, losing to eventual winners Argentina on spot-kicks.
