Team news: Brazil captain Thiago Silva will return to the side after he missed the 7-1 thrashing by Germany through a one-match suspension. Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is expected to make a number of changes, with Dani Alves possibly returning to the starting line-up. Neymar, of course, will not feature. Holland coach Louis Van Gaal may also be tempted to make some changes, with Memphis Depay and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in contention for a starting place. Key clash: Thiago Silva (Brazil) v Robin van Persie (Holland) Brazil captain Thiago Silva returns to boost the defensive line that Germany tore apart and will look to limit the contributions of Hollands all-time leading scorer Robin van Persie. Since hitting the back of the net twice in his teams 5-1 win over Spain and adding another in a 3-2 triumph over Australia in the group stages, Van Persie has not been as effective. Van Persie sat out the game against Chile through suspension and was bothered by a stomach injury before the Argentina game.
