Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti says his team will face a Scotland with a "very clear strategy" when they meet in Miami on Wednesday.

The five-time world champions sit just a point ahead of the Scots who lie third in Group C, with Steve Clarke's side needing a positive result to be sure of progression.

Speaking at the Brazil media conference on Tuesday through an interpretor, Ancelotti said: "They are a strong team. They have a very clear strategy.

"It's a very well organised team. Usually play 4-4-2, long balls. They will try and do a lot of crossing.

"We need to control the match in that sense."

Ancelotti says Neymar could be set for his first game in a Brazil shirt for almost three years, adding: "We are very happy. He is a high quality player.

"He can play half-time or the whole 90 minutes. He's very well, he worked very hard. So he is ready."
