Brazil vs Peru
Copa America 2019 Final
Venue: Estadio Jornalista Mario Filho (Maracana), Rio de Janeiro
Kick-off: 9.00pm (BST), Sunday 7 July
Hosts Brazil will look to clinch their first Copa America title since 2007 when they face Peru in front of an expectant home crowd at the Maracana on Sunday evening.
Tite's Selecao topped Group A and squeezed past Paraguay on penalties in the quarter-finals before goals from Gabriel Jesus and Roberto Firmino sealed a 2-0 win over arch-rivals Argentina in the last four.
The eight-time winners have yet to concede a single goal at this year's tournament and put five past Peru in a one-sided group-stage affair in Sao Paulo last month.
Looking to cause a massive upset and seal their maiden continental crown, Peru are set to feature in a first Copa America final in 44 years.
Edison Flores, Yoshimar Yotun and Paolo Guerrero all netted in a 3-0 defeat of defending champions Chile after a shootout win over fancied Uruguay defied an underwhelming group campaign that saw them scrape through to the knockout stages as one of the two best third-place finishers.
Brazil vs Peru team news and predicted line-ups
Brazil, without the injured Neymar for the duration of this year's Copa, will be missing Chelsea's Willian, who has a minor hamstring issue.
Fernandinho (knee) and Richarlison (illness) remain doubtful, although Filipe Luis could return.
For Peru, veteran forward Jefferson Farfan (knee) will not play in the final.
Brazil XI: Alisson, Alves, Marquinhos, Silva, Filipe Luis, Casemiro, Arthur, Coutinho, Everton, Firmino, Jesus
Peru XI: Gallese, Advincula, Zambrano, Abram, Trauco, Yotun, Tapia, Carrillo, Cueva, Flores, Guerrero
Prediction: Brazil 2-0 Peru
Brazil have won every Copa played on home soil and it would be a real surprise if they fail to maintain that record in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday night.
Boosted by a miserly defence and potent attack, they have already dismantled Peru once over recent weeks.
While this game might not be quite as comfortable, they should still end that 12-year trophy drought with relative ease.
It could be the perfect way to end Tite's reign, with reports suggesting that he could stand down regardless of the result.
