Brazil vs Haiti: Predicted XI for five-time World Cup winners as Carlo Ancelotti plans changes

Ancelotti to ring the changes: How Brazil could line up against Haiti

Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti is expected to make changes to his starting side for Friday's 2026 World Cup fixture against Haiti.

Ancelotti is believed to have been unhappy with the level of performance against Morocco last time out, with a number of players finding it difficult to make their mark.

There could be one changes at the back on Friday, with Danilo potentially being introduced into the team for Ibanez.

In midfield, Casemiro struggled against Morocco, but the expectation is that the veteran will keep his spot despite calls to introduce Fabinho.

Luiz Henrique and Matheus Cunha, meanwhile, are pushing to be introduced in the final third of the field, potentially replacing Lucas Paqueta and Igor Thiago.

However, while Cunha should be given the nod, Paqueta could ultimately just keep his spot.

There have been suggestions that Bremer could be introduced at the back, but Marquinhos is expected to keep his spot alongside Gabriel Magalhaes.

Endrick and Rayan will also be hoping to be given opportunities to impress at some stage of the contest, as Brazil look to record their first win of the 2026 World Cup.

Brazil possible starting lineup:

Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Gabriel, Santos; Casemiro, Guimaraes; Raphinha, Paqueta, Vinicius; Cunha
