Before Brazil can avenge its 2021 Copa América loss to Argentina, the Selecao will have to face Costa Rica in its first Group D match at the 2024 Copa América.
Historically, Brazil has enjoyed wonderful good luck in the Copa America of the last century. The Selecao has nine Copa America titles, the third highest in history, and just won the festival in 2019. After finishing second to last in the tournament, the Dorival Junior team is looking to turn around its success this summer in the USA.
Costa Rica, for its part, has only reached the quarterfinals of the Copa América, and that feat was 23 years ago. The new generation of Ticos seeks to equal or surpass that result in the 2024 Copa América, but their first match will be against one of the favorites to win the entire tournament.
Here is the 90-minute consultant from Brazil to Costa Rica on Monday, June 24.
Brazil has some of the most productive players in the world, adding Real Madrid’s trio of Eder Militao, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr. , as well as Liverpool’s Alisson. Despite a turbulent few years for the Seleçao, they still have generational boxing talents that will take them far in this summer’s competition, particularly 17-year-old prodigy Endrick.
The great brand of the Dorival Junior team is the midfield, although it opposes Costa Rica, Lucas Paquetá and company. He should have no problem directing the game.
Expected lineup of Brazil Costa Rica (4-3-3): Alisson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Militao, Wendell; Luiz, Guimaraes, Paquetá; Raphinha, Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr.
Costa Rica may not have the same level of skill as Brazil, but Los Ticos head to the United States having won six of their seven matches in 2024, with their only loss coming against champions Argentina, named winner of the America Cup.
It’s too early to tell, but it looks like Costa Rica’s crusade for the 2024 Copa America will go through the path of Manfred Ugalde. The striker already has 3 passes for his country in 10 international matches and has registered 3 assists in only two qualifying matches for the 2026 World Cup. Costa Rica is most damaging when the number 9 is at the center of their attack.
Costa Rica Brazil Predicted Lineup (3-4-3): Sequeira; Mitchell, Cascante, Calvo; Taylor, Galo, Aguilera, Lassiter; Alcocer, Zamora, Ugalde
Although Brazil’s last performance against the United States was mediocre, to say the least, we can expect the Seleçao to bounce back spectacularly against Costa Rica. If they have any hope of (possibly) beating Argentina, then Dorival Junior’s team will. We have to do some soft draws against the team that is ranked 52nd in the world.
In addition, Brazil’s only loss was to Costa Rica in 1960, and there has never been a draw between the two teams.
