Brazil are red hot favourites to defeat shock Copa America finalists Peru on Sunday evening and it would take a brave man to back against Tite’s side on current form.
With the majority of the Maracana crowd backing Brazil, home advantage could give the 2019 Copa America favourites a clear advantage this weekend.
At the time of writing, 888sport’s Copa America 2019 odds show Brazil at 3/10 to win inside 90 minutes on Sunday night.
The hosts last lifted South America’s prestigious trophy back in 2007 but it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see Brazil secure their ninth Copa America crown. All signs point towards a successful evening for Tite’s side…
Brazil were the better side in every area of the pitch against Argentina and a repeat of that performance will probably be enough to win.
On paper, the hosts have the stronger squad and Peru may find themselves up against it from start to finish. An early goal for Brazil will settle the nerves and 9/5 for over 2.5 home goals has a decent chance.
The Copa America 2019 Golden Boot award is well and truly up for grabs and five players are sitting on two goals ahead of Sunday’s showpiece.
The third-place playoff between Chile and Argentina will give us a better indication as to whether the Golden Boot accolade is still on offer but Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino could be the one to watch.
Picked by our tipster as one of the main reasons why Liverpool will win the Premier League title in 2019/20, Firmino could lead the line ahead of Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus.
If so, the 6/5 for Firmino to score in 90 minutes looks like a good bet. The Liverpool striker scored Brazil’s second in their Copa America 2019 semi-final on Tuesday night…
Peru’s 3-0 victory over Chile just 24 hours later sent shockwaves across South America.
Most football fans expected Chile to reach their third Copa America final in a row but Peru had other ideas, producing one of the standout performances of the tournament to advance to Sunday’s main event and the underdogs are now 4/1 to lift the trophy.
If there was an element of luck about their penalty shootout success over Uruguay, there was never fortuitous about their semi-final triumph.
Peru deserve their spot in the 2019 Copa America final and punters should respect the South American minnows ahead of the contest. 8/5 for both teams to score is worth considering.
A Peru victory on Sunday night would rank as one of the biggest Copa America shocks of all-time.
The two-time winners were priced at 18/5 to get the better of Chile in the semi-finals and you won’t find many punters who had Peru to win by three goals to nil. Following that up with a Copa America final victory over Brazil is a tall order…
Brazil are worthy favourites to win the Copa America 2019 title on Sunday night – Tite’s side are third in the FIFA world rankings with Peru ranked as the 21st best international team.
In football, anything can happen and Brazil cannot allow complacency to sneak in or else Peru will stand a decent chance of springing a real upset.
At the prices, there isn’t much value in backing Brazil to win at 3/10 but the 23/25 for Brazil to win by two or more goals is a much stronger price.
