Gillette Stadium is the scene for a high-profile Tuesday friendly between Jurgen Klinsmann’s United States and Dunga’s Brazil.
The visitors have lost just once since the 2014 World Cup ended, with nine clean sheets a part of their 13-1-1 record.

The States last beat Brazil at the 1998 Gold Cup, a 1-0 result off a Preki goal.
The 8 p.m. ET kickoff sees John Anthony Brooks out of the States lineup with a knock, while Michael Bradley re-enters the engine room. Geoff Cameron will commandeer a back line with Tim Ream, Ventura Alvarado and Michael Orozco.
For Brazil, there’s a wildly-talented bench including Neymar, Philippe Coutinho and Kaka.John Brooks was not 100% for tonight’s #USAvBRA match and @J_Klinsmann did not want to risk him ahead of Oct. 10 match vs. Mexico

.@J_Klinsmann liked what he saw from Andrew Wooten, but needed to reduce the roster for tonight’s #USAvBRA match.
