Brazil playmaker Lucas Paqueta says he has "great respect" for Scotland ahead of the decisive clash between the teams in Miami on Wednesday.
The five-time world champions sit top of Group C after following up their 1-1 draw with Morocco by beating Haiti 3-0 on Friday.
Scotland remain well placed to get out of the group phase for the first time in their history, particularly if they can secure a point against the Brazilians.
Former West Ham midfielder Paqueta insists there will be no danger of complacency from him when the sides meet, saying at a press conference on Sunday: "All the teams at the World Cup deserve respect. You have to study them and prepare as best as possible to face them.
"We have great respect for Scotland, but we also know we need to play our game and follow what the coach asks of us. Regardless of the opponent, our goal in every match is to win."
