Brazil vs. Haiti: 2016 Copa America Date, Time, TV Schedule and Live Stream

Rob BlanchetteJun 7, 2016

Brazil's disappointing start to the 2016 Copa America Centenario will be compounded if they fail to win against Haiti at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando on Wednesday after drawing their opening tie with Ecuador in a goalless encounter.

However, with a world ranking of No. 71, Les Grenadiers should pose little threat to the eight-time Copa champions.

As expected, Haiti lost their first game at the tournament, but they were only edged out by the solitary goal, losing 1-0 to Peru.

Brazil Desperate For Success

It has been a bleak period for the Brazil national team since their World Cup capitulation on home soil in 2014. The Selecao failed in spectacular fashion, battered 7-1 by the eventual winners Germany, and the team's status as the game's most romantic side was inexplicably damaged.

Brazil are still finding their feet in the rebuilding process since that time, and they struggled to take maximum points in their first game—an entertaining draw against Ecuador.

Indeed, they might have ended up dropping all the points on offer after it appeared a Miller Bolanos cross had passed over the goal line, hitting Brazil's Alisson—only for the referee to disallow the effort.

Haiti do not have the attacking power of the Ecuadorian team and will not offer a primary threat to Brazil's defence.

Premier League stars Willian and Philippe Coutinho looked in fine fettle against Ecuador and could put their next opponents to the sword swiftly.

Qualification is still very much in Dunga's hands, with Peru in striking distance and still to play the five-time world champions.

However, the omission of star players such as Neymar, Douglas Costa, Kaka, Luiz Gustavo, Rafinha, Ricardo Oliveira and Ederson has left Brazil with a youthful squad, and the lack of experience could cost them at crucial times.

"Obviously we'd like to have Neymar here, but this is a top team," Dunga said, per Four Four Two. "Some of them are very young, but they have quality. This is an opportunity for these players to show they deserve to be on the first team."

The evidence of quality wasn't glaringly obvious against Ecuador, but Dunga will hope his youngsters will grow into the tournament and wrestle the initiative.

The Selecao should still expect a convincing win in Florida, as Upper90 Statistics called the game the biggest mismatch at the Copa:

Brazil do not need to be at their best to conquer the group, but without Neymar their chances of overall success look slim at best.

Coutinho is a fine player to squeeze the creative juices for Dunga, but he struggles with inconsistency, as witnessed at Liverpool.

However, Haiti have no power to scare the Brazilians with, and nothing but a comprehensive victory will be expected in Florida.

Neymar's omission will make it difficult for Brazil to take part in the final, but the tournament is a great opportunity for Dunga's fledgling talents.
