Copa America 2021 will finally start. For the second straight time, Brazil will host the continental tournament hoping to retain their crown. To begin the road to a back-to-back championship, they'll clash with Venezuela on Matchday 1.
Tité's boys have proven to be the mightiest team in the continent not only by claiming the Copa America trophy in 2019, but also by getting off to an outstanding start to the South American World Cup Qualifiers. La Verde-amarela head to this competition in great form and as the frontrunners to win the title.
Meanwhile, La Vinotinto have been far from their next opponents' level so far. José Peseiro's team will have a tough group stage to face, with four strong candidates to make it into the next round. However, Venezuela already managed to hold Brazil in the last Copa America. Will they upset the hosts in the opening game of the tournament?
