Betting tips and odds are provided below.

The Brazilian team arrives at this game after preparing for the competition with mixed emotions. In the 2 games that preceded the Copa America, the team won one, against Mexico (2-3), and drew another against the USA (1-1). Despite the results, the team has been booed by its own fans and accused of lacking quality. The team is not as strong individually as in recent years full of big names, yet they continue to be Brazil and one of the strongest teams in the world. As a result, despite not having the same favoritism, they remain as always one of the favorites to win the competition. The team continues to count on incredible players such as Vini Jr., Rodrygo, Raphinha, Bruno Guimarães, Paquetá, Marquinhos, Alisson, Martinelli, among others. It now remains to be seen whether the Brazilian team will live up to its favoritism.

The Costa Rica team arrives at this game after good preparation for the competition. In the 3 games that preceded the Copa America, the team won two, against Grenada (0-3) and against Saint Kitts (4-0), and drew another against Uruguay (0-0). The team does not have the individual quality of other teams in the group, however, it has a strong collective, which has been playing together for a long time. Despite not being favorites and not having the individual quality of other times, the team hopes that their team will help them surprise in this group and be able to move forward in a difficult group like D.

In the last 3 games between these 2 teams, Brazil won them all. Goals were scored in all of those 3 games, but just with Brazil scoring.

Brazil are clearly favorites to win this match, yet due to their recent matches not many goals are to be expected.
