I was surprised that Brazil was held and drawn by Costa Rica in their first group game, especially after dominating the game, but I couldn't find a chance to break the deadlock. The Samba Soldiers have to be careful with that, and it's likely to be a way for Paraguay or other smaller nations to play them this game as well.
Brazil have won just two of their last eight matches and if they want to stay in this year's Copa America,? , today's battle must be seized with a chance to win over Paraguay. While the Samba Corps has an abundance of offensive talent, they don't have any of the true killers of a bygone era, such as Ronaldo, Lee Wardo, Romario or Nima. They have only thrown three goals in the war, which is really worrying.
However, Paraguay will find it harder to score than Brazil. After the last game, I learned that this was the first time they had scored for the second year in a row. The player who scored the goal was Zulio Anssu, who plays for Brighton. He has shown his talent at the club in the recent season. There is also Mikiel Amirão, so we know that Paraguay could threaten Brazil in this game.
Both teams desperately need a win, and Paraguay needs a run of wins in order to keep their hopes of advancing alive. This pressure may be too much for them. I believe Brazil can win this evenly matched match.
