⁠Brazil vs Colombia Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Copa America 2024

Two of the best attacking teams battle to finish the group as winners.

Brazil bounced back in the last match to secure an impressive 4-1 win over Paraguay to bring them back into the competition. Their performance against Costa Rica raised plenty of questions. However, they answered it with a dominating performance against Paraguay. A brace from Vinicius Junior and goals from Savio and Lucas Paqueta were enough to seal an impressive victory. Nevertheless, they will have to be at their best in this match to win the group. 

Colombia have exceeded expectations in the opening two matches after pulling two impressive wins. With the way the attackers have stepped up in recent games, they are the team to watch. Colombia are unbeaten in the last 24 matches and have won their last nine consecutive wins. With  James Rodriguez and Luis Diaz firing, they have a genuine chance to win this year. There is a good blend of experience and youth on the side.

Players to Watch

Vinicius Junior (⁠Brazil)

Vinicius Junior was back to his best against Paraguay in the last match as he scored two outstanding goals to drag Brazil to an emphatic 4-1 win. This win released the pressure after they failed to win the opening match. There were plenty of eyes raised on his performance in the opening match but he silenced everyone by putting in a match-winning performance in the second. He was unplayable for the opposition defenders for his pace and dribbles.

Luis Diaz (Colombia)

The Liverpool man will be a huge threat to Brazil in this match. He has been at his scintillating best in the opening two matches after creating four chances while attempting five shots. His ability to drift on his favoured right from the left wing makes him a dangerous player. After a productive season with Liverpool where he scored 13 goals and assisted another five, he has continued that form on the international stage.
