Uruguay fans are buzzing with excitement as their team shows promise to end a 13-year Copa América title drought. The Sky Blues, who haven't reached a semi-final since their 2011 victory, have dominated the competition, winning all three matches and topping their group for only the second time since 1995 - a year they also claimed the title.

Brazil showed their class by defeating Paraguay 4-1 after a lackluster 0-0 draw against Costa Rica in their Copa América opener. A draw against Colombia will secure their quarter-final spot, but the Seleção aim to win and top the group to potentially avoid Uruguay in the last eight.

Paraguay faces a daunting challenge as they prepare to take on Brazil in their second Group D match of the Copa América. After a 2-1 loss to Colombia in their opener, Paraguay finds themselves in a must-win situation to keep their hopes of progressing to the knockout stages alive. However, their recent form and historical struggles against Brazil paint a grim picture.

Brazil enters the Copa América 2024 aiming for their 10th title after falling short at home in 2021. Despite a rough patch in late 2023, losing three straight World Cup qualifiers, new coach Dorival Júnior has revitalized the team. They're now four games unbeaten (2 wins, 2 draws) and have avoided defeat in their last five tournament openers (3 wins, 2 draws), keeping four clean sheets.
