With 15 minutes to go before kick-off, let’s take a look at how the two sides are lining up, starting with Brazil!
Colombia opened their Copa campaign with a 1-0 win against Ecuador, before a 0-0 draw with Venezuela and a shock loss to Peru extinguished their momentum. Even still, the Cafeteros sit second in the group behind Brazil and could guarantee a spot in the next round with an unlikely win against the Selecao; which would be their first since 2015.
Peru’s failure to beat Ecuador earlier today leaves the door open for Brazil to qualify for the next stage as group winners with a victory against Colombia. The Selecao come into this fixture on the back of nine straight wins, dating back to a 1-0 loss against Argentina in a friendly in November 2019. Yet to concede a goal and out-scoring their opponents 7-0, Tite’s side have firmly established their claim as tournament favourites.

Colombia make four changes from their 2-1 loss against Peru, as Reinaldo Rueda gets two key players back from red cards. Munoz is in for Medina at right-back, while Uribe and Diaz return from suspension to replace Perez and Cardona respectively. The final switch is in attack, where it’s Borre and not Borja who partners Zapata.
