The Socceroos come into the match after escaping with a 3-2 win over Saudi Arabia in their World Cup Qualifier last weekend, and will be looking towards the Confederations Cup.
Australian coach Ange Postecoglou said:
“We accepted this game because we needed another build-up game for the Confeds Cup.
“It’s a great opponent for us and, being in Melbourne, allowed us a bit of an extended time in Australia.
“We’ll use this game to top up some guys who need some game time. Obviously a few of the guys, their leagues finished a little while back, and some of them will need 90 minutes. Some might only need 45, others we may not play at all.
“We’ll measure all of that. We’ll use it as a final preparation for making sure that all the boys coming across for the Confeds Cup are in the best possible condition.”
Brazil, on the other hand, are coming off a 0-1 loss to Argentina in a friendly that was played in front of a sold-out MCG last week.
