Brazil will look to continue their perfect start to the 2021 Copa America on Friday, when they take on Peru tomorrow at 6am (Bangladesh Time) in Rio de Janeiro in a replay of the 2019 final.

The hosts began their defence of the trophy with a dominant 3-0 victory over Venezuela, while their opponents will take on the pre-tournament favourites in their first game of this year's edition of the continental competition, as they look to defy the odds and start with a win.

Brazil have a 14-3 advantage with three draws from 20 previous matches against Peru.

Neymar has been in good form lately, scoring six goals in his last four matches for the Brazilians.
