An inexperienced Brazil are eyeing a fifth-straight win when they meet Bob Bradley's Egypt in an international friendly on Monday.
Mano Menezes has consistently tinkered with his squad and looks likely to again make a few changes to the team that beat Gabon 2-0 last week.
Dani Alves will return from suspension, while Alex Sandro and Thiago Silva are also likely to be included in his back four.
The five-time world champions have lost just once since being knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Copa America, but are relying on an inexperienced outfit to continue the run.
In a team missing the firepower of Ronaldinho, Neymar, Robinho and Alexandre Pato, Menezes will be hopeful Porto forward Hulk or Valencia's Jonas can net their first international goals.
The clash in Qatar marks Bradley's first game in charge after his stint with the United States national team came to an end in July.
Elsewhere, Denmark will go into their clash against Finland on Tuesday as hot favourites.
Morten Olsen's men edged out Portugal to gain automatic qualification for Euro 2012, and with striker Nicklas Bendtner likely to play a key role, are aiming for a fifth-straight win.
Ukraine will be out to build on last week's 3-3 draw with Germany when they host Austria.
The Euro 2012 co-hosts were up 3-1 against Joachim Loew's highly rated side, playing a quick counter-attacking game.
They meet an Austrian side that lost 6-2 to the same opponents in September and are playing for the first time since their failed Euro 2012 qualifying campaign came to an end.
Ukraine's co-hosts for the tournament, Poland, can end Hungary's seven-match unbeaten run when they do battle, while Greece take on Romania.
Switzerland will look to build on their scoreless draw with the Netherlands when they visit Luxembourg, while the United States travel to Ljubljana for a meeting with Slovenia.
Senegal and Ivory Coast go head to head as they continue preparations for the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations, which begins in January, while Honduras can extend Serbia's losing run to three matches.
