At the Copa America 2024, Brazil will play Paraguay in their second Group D encounter on Saturday at Allegiant Stadium. Both teams are looking for their first tournament victory.
Colombia defeated Paraguay 2-1 to start the season. Paraguay went down after two goals from Daniel Munoz and Jefferson Lerma in the first half. Julio Enciso, a midfielder for Brighton & Hove Albion, got one back in the second half, but it was insufficient to pull off a comeback. They would now be eliminated from the competition if they lost on Matchday 2.
Conversely, Brazil and Costa Rica ended up in a dismal 0-0 stalemate. Dorival Junior’s team had 19 shots and dominated possession, but they were unable to score. Brazil would be in a great position in the group with a victory over Paraguay, and they may even top it if Costa Rica wins against Colombia. However, they are under pressure to play more creatively.
Brazil, the nine-time Copa America champions, are confident going into this game after defeating Paraguay 4-0 in their last encounter and are hoping to recover and get that important victory.
Will Dorival, however, be persuaded to alter anything?
Starting lineups and team information for Brazil vs. Paraguay
With Rodrygo beginning at the top and Raphinha, Paqueta, and Vinicius being the three behind him, Brazil makes little changes to their starting lineup.
Alisson, who begins after Danilo, Militao, Marquinhos, and Arana, is the starting goalie at number one.
From right to left, Brazil (4-2-3-1): Alisson (GK) — Danilo, Militao, Marquinhos, Arana—Guimaraes, Luiz— Vinicius— Rodrygo; Raphinha— Paqueta.
With Gustavo Velazquez and Andres Cubas both on yellow cards and in danger of missing their last group game with another warning, Paraguay will need to exercise caution.
Damian Bobadilla receives his third cap against Paraguay, but Rodrigo Morinigo, who made his goalkeeping debut, maintains his position. Brighton’s Enciso, who scored his first goal for his country, will be a vital figure to keep an eye on.
Paraguay (4-3-3): Bobadilla, Cubas, Villasanti — Enciso, Arce, Almiron — Morinigo (GK) — Espinoza, Alderete, Balbuena, Velazquez.
