Brazil will play Peru on Sunday as they kick off their Copa America 2015 campaign at the Estadio Municipal in Temuco, Chile. Brazil will be hoping to continue their good form to firmly put their embarrassing exit from last summer's World Cup behind them. The game has a scheduled start time of 10.30 p.m. BST (5.30 p.m. ET) and can be watched on TV on the beIN Sports network, or online through live stream via the link below.
Brazil have bounced back from their World Cup disappointment in amazing style, and come into this Copa America competition in excellent form. There will be nothing better to get over their World Cup hangover than to go on a win the Copa America this summer, and they enter the competition as hot favourites alongside rivals Argentina to take the title.
Today, Dunga's in-form team tae on Peru in their opening encounter in Group C, and this is a game that they should win easily.
Although Peru could pull off a shock or two if they are playing well, even a Brazil just getting going in the tournament should be too much for them.
Brazil's players have probably watched the tournament kick off this week and have been itching to get going themselves, and today they finally get the chance to do that, and continue to put last summer behind them.
They will know how important getting off to a good start and gaining three points is in this competition. Their other Group C rivals include Colombia and Venezuela, both of whom clash in today's other game at the Copa America.
Colombia and Venezuela should prove reasonably stern tests for the Brazilian team as they gear up for the knock out stages, so they will want to ensure they gain maximum points today otherwise they would be under the threat of entering games against Colombia and Venezuela needing wins. Not getting out of the group stages would be another disaster for Brazil, and they must ensure they hit the ground running today.
Brazil put on a reasonable performance on Thursday, claiming a 1-0 win over Honduras, which extended Dunga's team's 100 percent record since being appointed last year after the World Cup. That means Brazil are just two more wins away from the record of 12 consecutive wins, which was set by the Brazil team in 1961 to 1962.
They should get the win today, and that would set them up to get the twelfth victory in their second game next week.
