Vs

Brazil forward Hulk hopes to be fit to face Mexico despite leaving training on Sunday "as a precaution" after feeling pain in his left hamstring.

Ramires or Bernard will deputise if Hulk is not risked in what is likely to be an otherwise unchanged line-up.

Mexico have no reported injury concerns and will once more line-up in an attack-minded 5-3-2 formation.

Javier Hernandez, Mexico's third highest scorer of all time, is again expected to be among the substitutes.

Mexico have a fantastic record against Brazil.

Seems top quality football players are forgetful... Balotelli needs his name plastered over his boots lest he forget they are his.
