Brazil vs Panama | Team News

Kathellen who plays for Real Madrid in Club Football, is likely to start in the centre of the Brazilian defence alongside Rafaelle. Antonia and Tamires could be utilized as the two full-backs. Geyse represents one of Brazil's main goal threats. The Barcelona forward could be joined in the forward line by Gabi Nunes. This will be Marta's sixth and final World Cup, and as her country's all-time leading scorer, she will have an important role to play from the bench.

For Panama, Yenith Bailey will start in goal. The 22-year-old talented shot-stopper will hope that the back five will give her enough cover against the dangerous Brazil attack. Wendy Natis, Yomira Pinzon, and Carina Baltrip-Reyes will more likely operate as the three centre-backs. Castillo and Hilary Jaen will fulfill the two wing-back spots. Karla Riley will have to lead the front line on Monday.
