Brazil vs Haiti Preview
Brazil got off to a relatively disappointing start in the Copa America with a goalless draw against an admittedly decent Ecuador team; we were confident Brazil would win and picked our original team accordingly but it didn’t happen. We can confidently predict however that they will beat Haiti with something to spare and we don’t really need to know the stats to state this.
| Form All Games Last 5 | Average Goals Scored | Average Goals Conceded | |
| Brazil | DWDDW | 1.83 | 1.33 |
| Haiti | LLLDW | 0.5 | 0.75 |
Picks?
Obviously pick Brazil players until you run out of selections; they should earn points in any position. Avoid Haitian players.
Ecuador vs Peru Preview
Peru were the only winners after the first set of games in Group B and managed that with a one – nil win over Haiti; they now face a much trickier tie against an Ecuador team who drew nil nil with Brazil in their first match. Ecuador are the odds-on favourites here and for good reason – they are ranked 13th in the world, 35 places above their opponents. Peru’s record coming into this tournament looks a little better than Ecuador’s but the latter faced far harder opponents and will be ready for the win.
| Form All Games Last 5 | Average Goals Scored | Average Goals Conceded | |
| Ecuador | DLLDW | 2.00 | 1.17 |
| Peru | DLDDW | 1.00 | 2.00 |
Picks?
Select four Ecuadorians from all four positions but you will need some Peruvian midfielders to fill in the gaps.
