Brazil vs Paraguay Prediction

One thing to keep note is that the Quarter Finals in Copa America 2019 do not have extra time if scores are level at regulation time. Penalty shootout will determine the winner should such a case arise.

Brazil once faced this dire outcome, at the hands of this same foe in the 2015 campaign, and for sure, they will not leave things late.

The team is on a roll and is high in confidence after their huge win the last day. They are unbeaten in their last 13 matches, and in 42 of their last 45 fixtures.

They have not conceded a single goal in the last five ties and registered a combined scoreline of 33-2 from their last 13 match-ups.
