Brazil faces Costa Rica in the first round of Copa América 2024. Brazil, a powerhouse in South American football, is expected to start their campaign strongly, while Costa Rica will aim to challenge their formidable opponents.
Brazil Team News
Brazil boasts a star-studded squad with top players from European leagues such as Vini Jr and Rodrygo. Known for their attacking flair and solid defence, Brazil is expected to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities. This is the first game for Selecao in this competition and we will see what we can expect from this dream team in the future. But one is sure, Brazil is always the favourite to win the tournament, especially when such quality players play in the team.
Costa Rica Team News
Costa Rica enters this match as underdogs. While they have a resilient team and can be defensively strong, they will need to be at their best to contain Brazil’s attacking threat and capitalize on any counter-attacking opportunities. Definitely, Costa Rica does not have the needed quality to resist Brazil but at least they can try to defend and grab the one point. So, it is normal if we see this team rarely possess the ball and do not have many chances to score.
Head-to-Head-Games
In their seven head-to-head encounters, Brazil has won all seven matches. This dominance further underscores Brazil’s favouritism in this fixture.
Brazil – Costa Rica Betting Prediction
Given Brazil’s superior squad depth and form, they are clear favourites to win. Costa Rica may struggle to keep pace with Brazil’s attacking quality. Betting on Selecao to win with a -1.5 goal handicap is a sensible choice, as Brazil is likely to secure a comfortable victory. Considering the strengths and form of both teams, Brazil should have no problem starting their Copa América campaign with a convincing win over Costa Rica.
