Back Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.84/5 in Brazil v Venezuela

On a winning streak of two, Tobias Gourlay hopes to sign off for the week with a Copa America hat trick

Brazil v Venezuela
Sunday 22:30

Uruguay 1 Paraguay 1 in La Serena yesterday.

Tonight brings the final group-stage games of Copa America 2015. All four teams in Group C have three points.

Brazil, who left it late to beat Peru 2-1 in their opening match before losing a 24-year unbeaten record to Colombia, are missing their star man. Wearing canary yellow, Neymar is a prolific scorer and his absence requires that at least one of Dunga's other, much less experienced forwards steps up.

Even with Neymar available, four of Brazil's last five matches have finished with Under 2.5 Goals. Since Dunga replaced Big Phil Scolari after last summer's World Cup, a total of 7/12 have been low scorers.

In the last 10 years, Venezuela have failed to score in any of their five meetings with Brazil, with the last two finished goalless. In qualifying for last year's World Cup 12/16 of Venezuela's matches stayed Under 2.5 Goals.

In Chile they have logged a 1-0 win over Colombia and a 1-0 defeat to Peru. A similar scoreline is on the cards at the Estadio Monumental.
