Neymar to Reach Century for Brazil against Senegal

Neymar Jnr will win his 100th cap for Brazil when the five-time World Cup winners face Senegalese Teranga Lions for the first time.

Selecao Head coach Tite has named a strong side for the friendly in Singapore, with Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson and team-mate Gabriel Jesus in the starting XI alongside Liverpool's Roberto Firmino.

Neymar has scored 61 goals in his 99 appearances for the national side to date, just one behind Ronaldo and 16 adrift of record holder Pele.

Both sides come into the fixture in good form with Brazil winning the Copa America this summer and Senegal reaching the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, where they lost to Algeria.

Meanwhile, Brazil will face the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Sunday at the same venue.
