The last encounter between the two nations ended in a 1:0 victory for the Brazilians. The black stars of Ghana are determined to reverse the scoreline on this occasion and emerge winners. Mano Menezes has made a number of changes to his team after a disappointing Copa America. Leandro Damian and Ronaldinho have been recalled due to their actions involving the Brazilian league and could be rewarded with starting points. Marcelo is likely to start on defense after the withdrawal of Adriano de Barcelona. Robinho also withdrew from the selection due to injury, but there was no need to replace their remaining options Menezes attack considered sufficient.
The full team the Brazil coach used in yesterday's training session, in a formation of 4-2-1-3, is as follows: Julio Cesar; Dani Alves, Thiago Silva, Lucio, Marcelo; Lucas Leiva, Fernandinho, Ganso; Neymar, Leandro Damiao, Ronaldinho.
Ghana: Ghana (4-2-3-1): Kwarasey; Paintsil, Mensah, Vorsah, Opare; D. Boateng, Agyemang-Badu; Adiyiah, A. Ayew, Muntari; Tagoe

Leandro Damiao scored his first international goal as Brazil beat 10-man Ghana in a scrappy friendly at Craven Cottage.
English referee Mike Dean handed out eight cards, one of them red, in a feisty encounter that was settled by Damiao's cool 45th minute strike.
The Internacional striker, who Spurs were interested in signing this summer, also finished off a brilliant passage of play started by the excellent Neymar but the linesman flagged the 22-year-old offside just after he had tapped the ball past Ghana stopper Adam Kwarasey.
