GROUP A
Group A of the tournament is perhaps the most competitive. Formed by Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, and Bolivia, it is undoubtedly an excellent example of mixtures that can happen in the final stages of the competition. Considering that two countries have won the tournament the most times (Argentina and Uruguay have more Copa America victories than the rest of the countries combined), it is for sure a group where all the teams will play each match with great passion and determination. For their part, Chile and Paraguay, both with two Copa America victories throughout their history, will want to go to the next round and fight to lift their third trophy.

GROUP B
A new edition of Copa America begins, with Brazil being the host for the second consecutive time. The opening match will be between the Brazilian team and Venezuela, for group B. The team of Neymar and company should have no problems advancing to the next round, with 4 of the five teams in the group advancing. The other three places will be determined between Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Ecuador. Peru and Colombia seem to start with a bit of an advantage, given their latest performances. Peru reached the final in the previous edition of the tournament, and Colombia has several internationally renowned players who are having a good time.
