The Copa America begins with its first set of fixtures this week as reigning champions Brazil lock horns with Venezuela at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia on Sunday. Brazil are in excellent form at the moment and should be able to win this game.
Venezuela have not been at their best in recent weeks and will need to take it up a notch to stand a chance against the Selecao. The away side was impressive in its 0-0 draw against Uruguay and will need to achieve a similar result in this match.
Brazil, on the other hand, have been in exceptional form in recent weeks and have registered seven consecutive victories under the enigmatic Tite. The Selecao achieved a comfortable victory against Paraguay in their previous game and will be filled to the brim with confidence going into this fixture.
