Brazil vs Costa Rica Prediction & Picks - Copa America
by Edgar Jibran | in Copa America Picks
The first round of the Copa America group stages will finalize with a match that looks very uneven in the preview between Brazil and Costa Rica, teams that will clash at 07:00 pm Central Time at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The main expectation is to have a Brazilian dominance along the match, as they’re the most expensive squad in the whole competition.
However, they shouldn’t underestimate Costa Rica, because even when this national team isn’t as competitive as they were 10 years ago, the new generation of players must try to show themselves that they’re capable enough of competing against the best teams in the world, by showing order, discipline and adequate technical skills.

Brazil - Costa Rica: Form Analysis
It must be remarked that even when the Brazilian squad has world class players in all their lines, they haven’t been competitive during the World Cup Qualifiers and they really are one of the most irregular national teams, so they must try to dissipate all the doubts around them during this tournament, in which they are big favorites to reach the final and battle for the championship against Argentina, Uruguay or Colombia.
Meanwhile, Costa Rica is very far away from the 2014 version, when they were able to reach the quarterfinals in the World Cup that Brazil hosted, so even when their preparation for this tournament was pretty decent against teams like Argentina and Uruguay, they haven’t been brilliant during their official matches, being evident that their matches against opponents like Grenada or Saint Kitts should be discarded from the analysis.

Brazil & Costa Rica Squad Analysis
Looking deeper into the squads, Brazil is finally having a great generation of players that appear to be ready to fight for the World Cup during the next 2 editions, so this continental tournament must be taken into consideration as a strong test for their future, where a big expectation has been put on players like Vinicius Junior, Alisson, Endrick and Rodrygo.
On Costa Rica’s case, this team has been testing different lineups during their most recent matches, some of them based around the local league and some others trying to mix the quality players that are playing abroad, nonetheless it must be remarked that most of them aren’t playing on very competitive teams, so they are considered as contenders to finish their participation on the group stages.
