Bernard, who scored the opener in the last outing, Robinho, Ramires, Hernanes and Dani Alves are all on the bench, as head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari continues to take a look at other players during these friendlies.
Meanwhile, Chile, who beat England 2-0 on a pair of goals from Barcelona forward Alexis Sanchez, will be gunning to cause another shocker against the Fifa World Cup hosts.
