Pele backs Brazil against England

Brazil legend Pele has insisted that this evening's game against England will be very different to the match at Wembley.

Roy Hodgson's side beat Brazil 2-1 back in February, but Pele thinks that the home side will have the edge tonight.

The match will be the first in the redeveloped Maracana stadium and the 72-year-old can not see England springing any surprises.

"This game will be different to the one in Wembley," Pele told The Sun. "I can only see Brazil winning.

"The Brazilians playing in Europe such as Thiago Silva, Lucas Moura, Dante, Chelsea teammates Oscar and David Luiz, and Neymar of course, are in great shape at the moment. They are all familiar with most of the England squad."

England take on Brazil at 8pm this evening.
