Brazil will kick off their 2024 Copa America campaign against Costa Rica at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on Monday, aiming for their 10th Copa America title after a runner-up finish to Argentina in 2021. Managed by Dorival Junior, Brazil is in Group E alongside Paraguay and Colombia. Among their roster of talent is 17-year-old Endrick, soon to join Real Madrid, who has made a striking impact with three goals in his last four national team appearances. Despite his young age, Endrick remains patient about his starting role, expressing trust in coach Dorival Junior's decisions.
On the other hand, Costa Rica, led by Gustavo Alfaro, brings experience from his previous tenure with Ecuador, where he reached the quarter-finals of the 2021 Copa America and qualified for the 2022 World Cup. Although Costa Rica has not advanced past the group stage since 2004, their recent form is promising, with four wins in their last six matches and a strong defensive showing, not conceding in their last three competitive games.
Historically, Brazil holds a significant advantage over Costa Rica in Copa America, having won both previous encounters in 1997 and 2004, and maintaining an overall dominant record with 10 wins out of 11 meetings. Brazil is heavily favored to win the upcoming match, given their historical and current form advantage.
