A victory will be enough for Brazil to advance ahead of its last Group G match against Portugal on June 25. The Ivory Coast needs to beat Brazil to get into a good position to move on, or at least get a draw to keep its hopes alive.

Brazil began the World Cup with a win over North Korea on Tuesday in Johannesburg, while the Ivory Coast was held to a scoreless draw with Portugal in Port Elizabeth.

Ivory Coast will be hoping striker Didier Drogba will be fit enough, as he recovers from a broken arm, to start the game.
