| DID YOU KNOW? |
- Brazil are the current reigning champions of the Copa America, beating Argentina in the final four years ago in Venezuela.
- Captain Lucio won his 100th international cap against Venezuela last weekend, becoming only the fourth Brazilian to reach the century milestone.
- In the South American nation's 23-man squad for the tournament, Robinho (pictured right) is the player with the most international goals, grabbing 25 goals in 87 appearances.
- Mano Menezes' men are currently in a run of inconsistent form, with the team winning two, drawing two and losing two of their last six fixtures.
- Paraguay have been runners up in the competition on five occasions, with their last final appearance resulting in victory in 1979.
- The last time the Paraguayan national side met Brazil, they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat in qualification for the 2010 World Cup two years ago.
- Striker Salvador Cabanas, who was horrifically shot in the head in January 2010, is an honorary member of the squad as he steps up his rehabilitation in the hope of a return to football.
- In their last 10 fixtures, Paraguay have won five, drawn three and been defeated on two occasions.
