Brazil will have been left reeling from their 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Sunday and will hope to improve when they meet Costa Rica in Friday's early kick off.
Costa Rica, too, need to up the ante when they face Brazil. However, they face an uphill struggle in their bid to progress to the next round of the World Cup after their 1-0 loss to Serbia.
One would expect Brazil to improve when they take on Costa Rica and get their World Cup up and running here.
