The matchday 2 of the Copa América presents a game with a lot of history, as Chile and Argentina will have to face each other at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. The Albiceleste will be assured of qualification with a win, while the Roja must win to reach the last game of the group stage.
For its part, Venezuela wants to extend its good momentum and increase doubts about Mexico, while Colombia has to face a complex match against Costa Rica. Brazil does not have an easy game either, as it must play versus the always fierce Paraguay.

The Chilean national team officially premiered its coach, Ricardo “El Tigre” Gareca. Still, in its debut against Peru, it left much to be desired, showing itself impotent when generating risky options. The Austral team is still looking for the players of the new process to take a step forward. It has six matches without beating Argentina.
The reigning champions of America and the World Cup started the tournament with a 2-0 victory over Canada, showing that Julián Álvarez and Lautaro Martínez are players to be feared. In addition, Lionel Messi keeps being key in creating scoring opportunities, even though he was not accurate in his finishing. The Albiceleste has won its last six matches.

Venezuela started the Copa América on the right foot with a 2-1 win over Ecuador, in a match where coach Fernando Batista showed signs of knowing how to manage his roster, as he found the two goals thanks to two changes. The Vinotinto has six official matches without losing, scoring in five. It has a pending debt against the Mexicans, as it has not beaten this rival since 2011.
The question marks over Mexico are clear, even though they come from a 1-0 win over Jamaica. La Tri is not playing well and seems to be facing an offensive talent crisis that makes it more difficult to defeat opponents who play well in defense, as could be the case of Venezuela. It has only lost once to this opponent.

Colombia’s national team showed its hierarchy and great momentum in its debut, beating Paraguay 2-1, with two assists from James Rodriguez. Luis Díaz continues to be a player with a lot of skills, but Néstor Lorenzo’s team is lacking a greater capacity for definition to not suffer in their matches. The Tricolor has 24 games without losing, winning 19 of those.
Costa Rica is not an easy opponent and proved it against Brazil, showing a solid defense that left the Canarinha without scoring a goal. The Ticos have accumulated four matches without losing, including another goalless draw against Uruguay in a friendly. The quality is not gushing, but it is a team well prepared by Gustavo Alfaro.
Colombia vs. Costa Rica Betting Pick: Colombia

With coach Daniel Garnero at the helm, the Paraguayan National Team continues to be in poor form. It lost in its debut against Colombia and has only won two of its last ten matches, which is why it is in seventh place in the World Cup qualifiers. It has five games in a row without winning against Brazil.
Brazil’s image is a matter of concern. In Dorival Júnior’s first major tournament, the debut was a 0-0 draw against Costa Rica, an unthinkable result when the Canarinha has players like Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, or the young star Endrick. It has four official matches without a win, losing the last three. The absence of Neymar’s leadership is weighing heavily on this team.
