JAKARTA – The second match of Group D of the 2024 Copa America presents the Paraguay vs Brazil duel at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, on Saturday, June 29, 2024, at 08.00 WIB.
This clash is Brazil’s chance to improve the results. Previously, unexpectedly, their star-studded squad was held to a goalless draw by Costa Rica.
In fact, Selecao statistics dominate. They control 74 percent with a goal ratio of 1.66 thanks to 49 goal attempts in the opponent’s area.
Statistics are not in line with the results. The failure to score goals extends Dorival Junior’s minor record to two consecutive matches at the Copa America.
Before failing to break into the Costa Rica goal, Brazil also failed to score a goal when they met Argentina (loss 0-1) in the 2021 Copa America final.
The fate of the new Selecao packing a point on the brink. Their fall to the knockout stages is running low. You see, Costa Rica and Paraguay may still overtake.
The situation was similar eight years ago in the 2016 Copa America. Brazil then won 7-1 against Haiti after the 0-0 draw against Ecuador.
However, it turned out that the victory was not enough to pass Selecao to the knockout stages. They ended the group stage in third place with four points after losing 0-1 against Peru in the group’s last match.
Dorival Junior hopes that the condition eight years ago will not be repeated. They were actually lucky because Paraguay had a thin chance of tackle.
Daniel Garnero’s team could only perform solid for half an hour when they met Colombia in the group’s first game. After that, they conceded two goals in the 32nd and 42nd minutes.
Paraguay looks frustrated. They were only able to score in the 69th minute which didn’t help get out of defeat.
Paraguay’s match record is also negative. La Albirroja lost in 18 consecutive matches after conceding first.
This shows a lack of effectiveness when left behind. They have also lost their previous three Copa America matches when they fell behind in the first half.
Brazil can reflect on Paraguay’s poor record. The seed first increased Vinicius Junior’s chances and colleagues to win.
Moreover, Selecao is motivated to improve results and increase the chances of qualifying for the knockout stages of the 2024 Copa America.
In the meeting record, Brazil still far ahead with 51 wins and 19 draws. While Paraguay can only win 19 times.
