Austria vs. Brazil: Time, Live Stream and TV Schedule

Austria have the unenviable honour of being Brazil's last warm-up opponents on Sunday before the South Americans travel to Russia for the kick-off of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on Thursday.

The Selecao are among the favourites to win this summer's showcase in eastern Europe and are unbeaten in their past 10 outings as they make their way to the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna.

Neymar made his return from a lengthy injury lay-off in Brazil's most recent matchup, a 2-0 win over Croatia on June 3, and the Paris Saint-Germain gem has one last opportunity to prove his fitness before the World Cup.

Austria may be minnows compared to Sunday's opponents, but they too have been in imperious form of late. They are unbeaten in eight games and have won their past seven in succession.

Date: Sunday, June 10

Time: 3 p.m. BST/10 a.m. ET

Venue: Ernst-Happel-Stadion, Vienna, Austria

Live Stream: LFCTV GO, fuboTV (U.S.) 

TV: LFCTV

Preview

With the World Cup getting underway on Thursday, Brazil will have been elated to see Neymar make a scoring return to their ranks when they beat Croatia at Anfield.

Brazil's talisman will escalate his preparations with a start on Sunday, as South American football writer Jack Lang wrote:

Franco Foda's side seem almost unlucky in that it was only right at the end of Marcel Koller's six-year reign in charge—departing in November 2017—that results started to pick up.

Austria missed out on a place at the 2018 World Cup but have lost only one of their 12 matches since the beginning of 2017, winning eight and drawing four.

Brazil would be wise to keep their wits about them in Vienna considering Das Team most recently produced a 2-1 comeback win over world champions Germany.

Foda has his team running in slick fashion, with the likes of David Alaba and Marko Arnautovic among their brightest assets. ESPN Stats & Info touched on the kind of rare revolution that's occurring within their ranks:

For all the attacking dynamite Brazil manager Tite has at his disposal, however, it's the Selecao's defence that's impressed most of late, with his team managing to keep clean sheets in their past four matches.

Brazil haven't conceded a goal in 387 minutes of play, and and ESPN FC panel recently discussed the team's status as World Cup contenders:

Austria don't have many more results of late that quite compare to the win over Germany in terms of lustre, but anything other than defeat on Sunday would be counted as a turn up for the books.

Tite's last opportunity to test his stars before heading to Russia is sure to be watched by certain World Cup peers looking to get the inside scoop on one of the tournament's heavily tipped outfits, but Austria look like a tricky host.
