Copa America 2015: TV, Live Stream Schedule, Predictions for Sunday Fixtures

Sunday sees the curtain come down on the Copa America 2015 group stage, as the final fixtures of Group C take centre stage with places in the quarter-finals still very much all to play for.

Brazil, Peru, Venezuela and Colombia are all on three points ahead of the last round of matches, with the nations’ goal difference also locked on zero.

A draw for any side will be enough to see them through to the last eight as at least one of the best two third-placed teams in the group stage, but they’ll all undoubtedly be vying for three points to pick up an all-important dose of momentum.

Here’s a look at Sunday’s mouth-watering set of fixtures, complete with details on how you can take in the action:

Brazil to Cope With Life After Neymar?

Brazil have come to rely heavily on their mercurial forward Neymar over the past few years, but they’ll need to find a new main man for Sunday’s clash with Venezuela.

The Barcelona star was handed a four-match ban for irresponsibly clashing with Colombia players in the wake of his side’s 1-0 defeat on Thursday and will now miss the remainder of the tournament—per AS:

However, Brazil should still have more than enough firepower to reach the quarter-finals, with manager Dunga likely to reshuffle his pack to include Douglas Costa or Philippe Coutinho from the start.

The latter looked sharp during his 45-minute run-out against Colombia and said during a press conference that whoever replaces Neymar in the Brazil pack will be fully focused on leading them to the last eight—via Tom Webber of Goal.com:

"

Neymar is a great player, our main man, but everyone is prepared and focused on what we want. We lost our main player, but the group is strong. We are focused to overcome the loss of Neymar in the next game.

I do not know if I'm going to play. I believe that everyone is prepared. It depends on the coach. I am prepared and I will do my best to help the team come away with the victory. We have great players in the Selecao—creative, fast and smart. The most important thing is the team. Whoever plays has to get the job done.

Still, Venezuela have proved they’re not just in Chile to make up the numbers, producing spirited performances against Colombia and Peru to move them within touching distance of the quarter-finals.

It will likely be a backs-against-the-wall job once again for Noel Sanvicente’s side on Sunday, but they can undoubtedly hurt Brazil on the counter-attack.

Salomon Rondon has led the line brilliantly so far in the tournament and has already shown that half a chance is enough for him to find the net.

It’s all just a case of whether or not Brazil have enough to break the stubborn Venezuelans down, but sports journalist Sergi Dominguez believes that without Neymar, Dunga’s men simply aren’t good enough:

It could well be that a single goal decides Sunday’s crunch clash, and even though their main man will be watching on, Brazil should be able to prevail.

Granted, though, a huge step up is needed if they’re to progress any further than the quarter-finals.

Colombia Looking to Steal Top Spot

Before Brazil and Venezuela lock horns, Colombia and Peru face off, with the Colombians looking for a big win to seal first place in Group C.

Jose Pekerman’s side got off to a shaky start against the Venezuelans in their opener before producing a strong display to see off Brazil 1-0 on Thursday.

Even so, they’re still yet to hit top gear and will be hoping to do so against Peru to gain momentum ahead of the last eight.

Pekerman will likely stick with the same 4-2-3-1 formation used against the Brazilians, with Teo starting up front and mercurial trio Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez and Juan Cuadrado just behind.

However, Falcao’s inclusion has been called into question of late, with two very flat performances so far in the Copa America.

ESPN’s Miguel Delaney was one of many to criticise the former Manchester United man:

Victor Ibarbo replaced the skipper shortly after the hour mark against Brazil and impressed immensely, and he may be the go-to weapon once again should Falcao keep up his rather dour form.

Peru are still very much in with a chance of progression, though, with their 1-0 victory over Venezuela putting them right in the mix.

Plus, if Peru's spirited performance against Brazil in their opener is anything to go by, Colombia certainly won’t be strolling through to the last eight.

However, despite the fact that Peru simply need to better Venezuela’s result to take that crucial third place in the group, that’ll be easier said than done against the Colombians, who will be going out with a big point to prove.
