The Brazilian team has an important challenge ahead of them in the Copa América. The team led by coach Dorival Junior will face Paraguay this Friday (28), at 10pm, at the Allegiant Stadium, in Nevada, in the United States. Brazil needs a victory to increase its chances of advancing in the competition.


For the confrontation, Dorival Junior must line up Brazil with Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Militão and Arana; João Gomes, Bruno Guimarães and Lucas Paquetá; Raphinha, Rodrygo and Vinicius Júnior. The team is in Group D, alongside Costa Rica, Colombia and Paraguay.




BRAZIL'S CURRENT PERFORMANCE

Brazil debuted in the competition on the 24th against Costa Rica, but the game ended in a goalless draw. This result disappointed fans, especially considering the recent history of underperformance.



GROUP D SITUATION

While Brazil drew on debut, Paraguay is coming off a 2-1 defeat to Colombia, thus occupying last place in Group D. The need for victory is crucial for both teams, but especially for Brazil, which seeks to regain confidence and position highlight in the tournament.


QUESTIONS ABOUT THE SELECTION

The frustrating debut against Costa Rica added another layer of concern to the already unstable performance of the Brazilian team since the World Cup in Qatar. The goalless draw was a blow to fans and critics, who expected a more convincing performance.

Since 2023, Brazil has played 14 matches, recording just five wins, four draws and five defeats. With a 45.2% success rate, the Brazilian team has faced difficulties in maintaining consistency, falling behind even historically lesser teams.
