Brazil vs Paraguay Prediction
Brazil enter this contest as the red-hot favourites given their squad strength and recent form. They are on track to retain their title they won last time around, which will be their eighth Copa America Femenina triumph.
Paraguay, meanwhile, will consider themselves very lucky to be playing in the semifinals. Few would have expected them to qualify in a group containing Ecuador and Chile. Nonetheless, they won both those games. They also come into this clash on a three-match winning run.
However, Brazil would present a totally different level of competition. Paraguay will have to be at their very best to have any chance of making the final. Brazil are expected to win convincingly.
Prediction: Brazil 5-2 Paraguay.
