Australia impressed when holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw in Townsville on Friday and Tony Popovic will be looking for another strong performance when the two sides meet again at Suncorp Stadium on Tuesday.
Nestory Irankunda's superb free-kick looked set to clinch only the Socceroos' second victory over the Selecao, only for Raphinha to set up Rayan deep into added time to deny the hosts of the win.
Marcus Younis was the lone debutant for the Aussies, leaving Eli Adams, Kealey Adamson, Kasey Bos, Jacob Chapman, Yaya Dukuly and Dylan Leonard hoping to be given the nod on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Brazil head coach Carlo Ancelotti will be expecting better from his side, with all of Raphinha, Vinicius Junior, Bruno Guimaraes Endrick and Estevao having started the draw on Friday.

Australia v Brazil Prediction
Best Bet: Nestory Irankunda anytime goalscorer @ 5.00
Socceroos head coach Popovic was clearly happy with the performance in Townsville, telling reporters that his players had "grown since the World Cup", having "gained wonderful experience" in North America.
Chief among the star performers was goalscorer Irankunda, who has now netted four times in his nine Socceroos appearances during 2026 to give his side a much-needed cutting edge.
The Sporting Lisbon forward went close on a couple of occasions as well as curling home his top-class free-kick on Friday and is taken to get his name on the scoresheet again in Brisbane.
Alternative Bet: Draw @ 4.75
With the two sides having drawn their first meeting in Townsville, a similar outcome is backed here, even if the South American giants will surely have been stung by the negative reaction to their performance.
The simple fact is that Brazil cannot be trusted away from home soil, having won just one of their last seven official away games, while their overall record under Ancelotti reads W10, D4, L4, which is not very impressive either.
With the Socceroos confident after coming so close to just a second win over the Selecao, they will be eager to put in another big display at Suncorp Stadium and can secure another draw.
Australia v Brazil Bet Builder Tip
Goals range 1-3
Australia or Draw - Double Chance
Half with most goals - 2nd
Pays 9.50
The game on Friday featured two goals, while Brazil had another ruled out and Australia went close on several occasions, but a goals range of 1-3 still feels about right to start this Bet Builder.
Having taken the draw as the alternative bet, add in Australia or the draw in the Double Chance market, with the Socceroos looking far more solid at the back due to the amazing progress of Hull City's Lucas Herrington and the form of Leicester City's Harry Souttar.
Finally add some value by taking the the second half to have the most goals, with both goals in Townsville having come after the interval.
The Socceroos will want to play on the front foot and will obviously chase the game if they do go behind, while the Selecao will do similar if facing a defeat.
