The Copa America 2021 is back in action with its first set of knock-out games this weekend as Brazil take on Chile at the Olympic Stadium on Friday. Brazil have excellent players in their ranks and are the favourites to win this match.
Chile have shown glimpses of their potential in Copa America 2021 but will have to play out of their skins to stand a chance in this match. La Roja can pack a punch on their day and managed impressive results against Argentina and Uruguay last week.
Brazil, on the other hand, were held to a 1-1 draw by Ecuador in their previous game and will revert to their best team against Chile. The Selecao are one of the favourites in Copa America 2021 and will be intent on defending their crown this month.

Brazil (BRA) vs Chile (CHI) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
Neymar and Richarlison have been Brazil's two most dangerous players over the past year and are must-haves in this team. Neymar, in particular, is his team's talisman and will have to play a key role in this match.
Chile have their own lethal duo in Ben Brereton and Eduardo Vargas and both players will have to take the chances that come their way this weekend. Arturo Vidal will likely have his work cut out for him against Brazil's midfield but is perfectly capable of holding his own on Friday.
Casemiro is one of Brazil's most important players and his late runs often wreak havoc in the penalty area. Marquinhos and Eder Militao have been impressive for Brazil but will have to be wary of Chile's counter-attacks in this game.
The Dream11 Fantasy Suggestion #2 gives Chile more of a chance against the reigning champions.
