Steve Clarke has some key decisions to make as Scotland bid to make World Cup history against Brazil in Miami on Wednesday.
Avoid defeat to the six-time champions in their final Group C fixture, then Scotland are all but guaranteed to progress to the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time in history.
A narrow defeat may even be enough, providing enough results in other 12 groups fall favourably. An extended format means that the eight teams with the best record who finish third in their group also qualify for the round of 32 alongside those who finish first and second.
Clarke’s team selection and tactics will be crucial if Scotland are to achieve a momentous result against a Brazil side boasting some of the world’s top stars such as Real Madrid wingers Vinicius Jnr and Rodrygo.
After starting with two strikers for the 1-0 win over Haiti, Clarke reverted to one up front for the 1-0 defeat by Morocco. A conservative approach is again likely, but we would like to see a few more attack-minded choices in a 4-2-3-1 system.
See what you think of our team selection featuring three changes from the starting XI against Morocco...
5. DC: Scott McKenna
The Dinamo Zagreb defender was expected to start for Scotland at the World Cup but has missed the opening two games with injury. Now back in full training he can provide balance at left centre-back, with Grant Hanley dropping to the bench after his costly lapse against Morocco. | PA
6. DCM: Lewis Ferguon
Arguably Scotland's player of the tournament so far, the Bologna captain has impressed when it comes to covering territory and winning back possession. He will have a crucial role protecting the Scotland defence against Brazilian attacks. | PA
7. DCM: Ryan Christie
The Bournemouth man would complement Ferguson in the holding midfield role as a more ball carrying, playmaking number six alongside the destroyer. | PA
8. AMR: Ben Gannon-Doak
Scotland look a much more threatening side when the Bournemouth winger is on the pitch. His electric pace and ability to beat a man will give the Brazil defence something to think about on the break. | Getty Images
