Copa Final- Brazil vs Argentina: Copa America 2021 Match Preview, Team News, Head To Head, Dream 11 Prediction

The day has finally come when Brazil is all set to play Argentina at the Maracana on Sunday in the finals of Copa America. This weekend is going to be a thrilling one for all the football fans as it is undoubtedly the best vs the best; Brazil vs Argentina. While Brazil will work hard to add the 10th winning title in their winning history, Argentina will also leave no stones behind to win the title for the 15th time. The world will be looking towards the finals as Neymar-Messi meets and out on a show to become the South American champions.

Brazil vs Argentina: the recent form of both teams:

On the Brazil side, Neymar and company will find it easy to dictate the match with the newly brewed South American talents by his side. The start of the tournament has been heavenly for Brazil this year. In the group stage, they have won three 3 matches consecutively and started the tournament in the best possible way. They didn't stop themselves in the group stage only. Their performances in the knockouts have been supreme and they are clearly washing away every team playing against them. There is a high chance of Brazil winning this final against Argentina but every certainty becomes uncertain at some point.

Argentina is very desperate to take revenge for the 2004-2007 finals. With the next Copa America scheduled for 2024 in Ecuador, we might not be watching Messi play for the last time in Copa as Messi will be 37 yrs then. Therefore, arguably this will be the last time Messi will be able to break the National team Curse and prove himself. Messi was a part of the team when Argentina played the Copa America finals of 2007, 2015, and 2016 and also the 2014 World Cup but lost all of them. So this has to be his most crucial match at the moment and he is also in great form right now. Lionel Messi's team has an impeccable performance in the tournament and has won all the previous five matches at a stretch. They will definitely be looking forward to making this win the 6th win at a stretch.

For Brazil, Neymar has been always the central player and the team is generally around him. With Gabriel Jesus suspended for the final, there will be some changes in the attacking lineup. The defense is very strong with Marquihnos and Thiago Silva and with the wall of Alisson or Ederson, they are invincible. The midfield of Fred Casemiro should create the magic. With Fabinho expected to be substituted, later on, to put some juice into the midfield. Firmino should start the lineup in place for Jesus.

Brazil possible starting lineup:

Ederson; Danilo, Marquinhos, Silva, Sandro; Fred, Casemiro; Richarlison, Paqueta, Everton; Neymar

The team has not won the title in a straight 28 years and they will definitely be looking forward to a win this Sunday. It is quite evident that Lionel Messi will be the most important team member for the final. In his last 6 appearances, he scored 4 goals and give 5 assists. The captain will be joined by Martinez in the attack. Leandro Paredes, Giovani Lo Celso, and Rodrigo De Paul will definitely be in the starting XI for their previous contributions and performances. Emiliano Martinez was the star player of the semi-finals and single-handedly took the team to the finals and the fans are expecting him to play similarly. With Brazil better in attacking and Argentina best in set pieces, it is hard for the match to get to extra time. A match of penalties is highly unlikely but still in contention.

Argentina possible starting lineup:

E Martinez; Molina, Pezzella, Otamendi, Tagliafico; De Paul, Paredes, Lo Celso; Messi, L Martinez, Gomez

Head to Head:

The final is clearly going to be the best against the best. The dominance of the teams towards their opponents is quite transparent. Both the teams have played 111 times head to head. Brazil has 46 times whereas Argentina has 40 times. The rest of the 25 matches ended with a draw between the teams.
