The Copa America’s two favourites face off in their final friendly.
The United States men’s national soccer team suffered a disappointing loss to Colombia in their last match. They were completely outplayed at home as they conceded five goals. This Brazil friendly has come at a good time for them to bounce back before they begin their Copa America tenure as the host nation.
After winning the Concacaf Nations League for the third consecutive time, they will now have the chance to fight for the Copa America title. They were drawn against Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay in Group C.
Brazil are on an excellent run of form under Dorival Junior. He has guided the team to victories over England and Mexico, and a thrilling 3-3 draw against Spain in the last three matches. He has helped the Selecao play free-flowing football, but their defensive problems remain after conceding five goals in the last two matches. They are drawn in group D alongside Colombia, Costa Rica and Paraguay.
