Brazil will be eager to finish their Copa America preparations on a high when they welcome Honduras to the Estadio Jose Pinheiro Borba in the southern city of Porto Alegre.

The Selecao have been in superb form since they hosted last year's World Cup, winning all nine of their matches since losing to the Netherlands in the third-place playoff.

Their most recent triumph came on Sunday when they earned a 2-0 victory over Mexico in Sao Paolo.
Goals from Philippe Coutinho and Diego Tardelli made the difference at Allianz Parque as Dunga maintained his 100% record since taking charge of the team for a second time.

"I think it was [a good result] in the end," the former midfielder told reporters. "I have more questions in my head now regarding the starting XI and the players know that I have so many options now."

Dunga's return to the dugout has also coincided with an improvement in defence for Brazil, with seven clean sheets kept in nine matches. Just two goals have been conceded by the five-time world champions in that time. Meanwhile, a return of 20 goals at the other end of the pitch suggests that they have lost none of their attacking flair.

Team News
Having missed Brazil's victory over Mexico due to his participation in the Champions League final for Barcelona,Neymar could be back in the squad for Wednesday's game.

Coutinho and Tardelli have a chance of keeping their places in the side, though Dunga is expected to make a handful of changes. Oscar and Luiz Gustavo are both unavailable, with the pair having been ruled out of the Copa America due to injury.
Honduras will be without the suspended Maynor Figueroafollowing his red card against Paraguay.

Brazil possible starting lineup:
Jefferson; Danilo, Miranda, Luiz, Luis; Fernandinho, Elias, Casemiro; Coutinho, Willian; Tardelli

Honduras possible starting lineup:
Escober; Palacios, H Figueroa, Beckeles, Izaguirre; Garcia; Martinez, Mejia, Acosta; Castillo, Najar

Head To Head

Brazil have the superior record when it comes to past meetings against Honduras, winning four out of six matches against the Central Americans.
The Selecao have scored a whopping 20 goals in those four victories, with an 8-2 thrashing back in 1994 their most resounding triumph.
Honduras have consistently struggled against the might of the Brazilians, though they did record a 2-0 win in the Copa America 14 years ago before drawing 0-0 two years later.

Seems like Dunga will be using Willian as a right wing Midfielder in the coming tourney, was great there in the first game.
