BRAZIL head to Russia as the outright World Cup favourites, in no small part down to their favourable draw.

The Selecao have been placed in Group E, where they will take on Switzerlan­d, Costa Rica and Serbia.

They look well placed for a deep run in the competitio­n, as they seek to banish the memories of the 7-1 semi-final loss to Germany in 2014.

At the heart of their plans for a sixth World Cup crown is Neymar, the £200million PSG superstar.

Back to fitness, he bagged his 55th internatio­nal goal - he’s just 26! - in the warm up win

over Austria.
