ARG vs BRA Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Football Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Copa America Match - July 10th, 2021
Argentina play one of the most important matches in their recent history this weekend as they take on arch-rivals Brazil in the Copa America 2021 final on Saturday. Both teams have excellent players at their disposal and will need to be at their best to lift the trophy this weekend.
Brazil have been a juggernaut under Tite in recent years and started the tournament as favourites. The Selecao have a balanced team but have been troubled by some of their South American counterparts in recent weeks.
Argentina, on the other hand, have excelled in Copa America 2021 but were given a run for the money by Colombia last week. Lionel Scaloni has built a formidable side in recent years and the Albiceleste's unbeaten streak holds them in good stead going into this fixture.

Argentina (ARG) vs Brazil (BRA) Dream11 Fantasy Suggestions
With four goals and five assists in five games, Lionel Messi has been the best player Copa America 2021 and is an excellent captaincy choice going into this game. Neymar has also played a talismanic role for Brazil and will lead his side's attack this weekend.
While both sides have struggled with their full-backs in recent years, Marcos Acuna has stepped up admirably for Argentina over the past month. Marquinhos and Thiago Silva will make up the core of Brazil's defence and will have their work cut out for them against the likes of Messi and Lautaro Martinez.
Rodrigo De Paul has been a revelation for Argentina in Copa America 2021 and his ability to bear some of the creative burden has been pivotal to Lionel Messi's form. Lucas Paqueta has been Brazil's surprise package and is perfectly capable of a decisive goal or a defence-splitting pass.
