Brazil did well to secure the first place in their group in spite of losing to Colombia and they are now favourites to pip Paraguay to a place in the semis.

Meanwhile, La Albirroja surprised Argentina in the group stage and will now attempt to shock title contenders Brazil in the quarter-final.

The Seleccao are well aware that not even the Copa America trophy can make up for the embarrassment at the 2014 World Cup, but a success in Chile would definitely be another step in the right direction for Carlos Dunga.

Brazil did not have the best of starts to the tournament finals, as they needed a late goal to beat Peru, before losing to Colombia in second group match.

And with superstar Neymar earning a tournament-ending suspension, things did not look too promising for the Selecao.

The team, nonetheless, showed a great deal of character by defeating in-form Venezuela and they now have a good chance to beat Paraguay and make it to the last four.

Brazil have been made 1.73 (8/11) favourites to win in ninety minutes, but it won’t be easy for Carlos Dunga to compensate for the absence of Neymar.

The latest reports suggest that David Luiz will be used in midfield, while Liverpool stars Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino should keep their places in the side.

Probable starting line-up (4-2-3-1): Jefferson – Alves, Silva, Miranda, Luis – Fernandinho, Luiz – Willian, Coutinho, Robinho – Firmino.

Paraguay ended the 2014 World Cup qualifier in last place and having also been placed in a pretty strong group with Copa America holders Uruguay and tournament favourites Argentina, they were not given big chances of reaching the final stages.

La Albirroja, nonetheless, were quite impressive in the group stage, holding Argentina and Uruguay to 2-2 and 1-1 draws respectively, while defeating Jamaica.

That proved enough for the second place in the group, although the team could do little to avoid Brazil in the quarter-final.

But, seeing as they have yet to lose a game at the 2015 Copa America, you should know Paraguay are 2.20 (6/5) to avoid defeat tomorrow evening.

Coach Ramon Diaz faces serious selection problems seeing as Miguel Samudio and Nestor Ortigoza are both out injured, and he has ruled out their involvement.

Meanwhile, Roque Santa Cruz, Derlis Gonzalez and Victor Caceres are all expected to be recalled to the starting line-up.

Probable starting line-up (4-4-2): Villar – Bruno Valdez, Da Silva, P. Aguilar, Piris – Gonzalez, Aranda, V. Caceres, Benitez – Santa Cruz, Nelson Valdes.
