Off field issues may not have made this the smoothest preparation nevertheless, Tite’s side are coming into this latest edition of the Copa American having won nine of their last nine games.
This includes Brazil’s latest 7-0 friendly victory over Honduras and their 2-0 win over Qatar a few days earlier.
Neymar may be out for a further two or three weeks however, Brazil still have a star-studded squad which should be able to get the job done against Bolivia.
Speaking of Eduardo Villegas’ side, they come into this game on the back of an encouraging 2-0 loss to world champions France.
Looking at the head to head record, you will find more evidence of the strength of this Bolivian side. In five previous fixtures, Brazil have only managed two victories. Bolivia also have one win under their belt, with the other two games ending in draws.
The last encounter between the two sides ended 0-0 however, many will say that Brazil’s motivation was frail having already booked their ticket to the 2018 World Cup.
Despite all that, the recommendation in this game is to back Brazil. Tite’s men are playing on home soil and they will be expected to not only win but win in style.
