Before making any Brazil vs. Costa Rica picks or 2024 Copa America predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Brandt Sutton has to say.

Sutton finished the 2022-23 Champions League season with a 16-7 record (+8.93 units) on SportsLine's UCL pick sheet and is 25-20-2 (+3.20) in 2023-24. He also finished 2022 as SportsLine's No. 1 soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players and is 139-136-5 since the 2022 World Cup. Anybody following saw huge returns!
Sutton has considered that Brazil are one of the pre-tournament favorites due to several dangerous scorers such as Real Madrid teammates Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. Junior had 15 goals this season for Real Madrid, while Rodrygo added 10. The Brazilians have found the net three times in two of their last three games and they have the firepower to run away with this one.
However, Sutton has also factored in Costa Rica's defensive strength. They kept a clean sheet in both qualifying playoff games and recorded a scoreless draw against Uruguay in a friendly to help tune up for this tournament.
Now, Sutton has broken down this matchup from every possible angle. He's leaning Under on the total and has locked in a confident best bet for this matchup! You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
