Brazil vs Colombia Prediction & Betting Tips (3 July)

Brazil did not reassure its fans and its football pantheon in the opening by being held by Costa Rica, an opponent against whom it does not really have any difficulty in normal times 0-0. Results of the races, it was a mandatory victory which was expected against Paraguay, already on the verge of elimination for its side during the 2nd day to follow. The small downside is that the Selecao's problems are not new and it is absolutely not to its advantage and at its level during the first salvos of qualifying for the next World Cup, being only 6th last spot. qualifier and surfing a terrible series of four matches without a win including three defeats against Uruguay 2-0, Colombia precisely 2-1 and in the shock against Brazil 0-1. Finally, in the last 9 TCC matches before the match against Paraguay, the Brazilians only won twice, in a friendly preparation for this Copa against England at Wembley 0-1 and against Mexico in a poster disputed 2-3, insufficient for the five-time world champion. Colombia did not miss its start by sweeping away the Paraguayan hopes during the first day 2-1. Clearly, in the event of success against the Costa Ricans on the 2nd day, the Colombians will have 6 points, i.

e. they have already qualified for the 1/4 finals and would only need 1 point to secure their 1st place. in front of this same Brazil. This would be a small event since the bookamers obviously placed the Selecao at the top of this group, despite the latter's shortcomings. Unlike Brazil, which has been struggling for several months, Colombia is potentially the most prolific team on the planet at the moment, having been undefeated since February 2, 2022, a significant series of 24 matches without defeat for a record of 9 victories. successive.

When we talk about Brazil, it is almost certain that each of you thinks of Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Pelé (for the oldest) or even more recently Kaka, Robinho and of course the top scorer of the selection, Neymar ( 128 salts, 79 goals) who does not participate in the competition (recovery from a very long injury). Ultimately, his absence weighs on the game and on the ease of creating chances and we know very well that we are closer to the end than the beginning for this immense player. Despite Raphinha (Barcelona), Vinicius (Real Madrid) and Rodrygo (Real Madrid), only Neymar is capable of creating this pass, this dribble or even his finish. He is not the only one missing since the captain Casemiro (Man United), the London finishers, Jesus (Arsenal) and Richarlison (Tottenham), the winger Antony (Man United), and the less important Emerson, Neres, Vanderson and Caio Henrique (both Monaco) were not called up. The substitute goalkeeper in the selection but holder in any other nation, Ederson (Man City) was injured at the end of the club season (OUT). If offensively, it lacks magic Do Brasil, behind it is serious with the ultra-reliable hinge: Marquinhos (PSG) and Militao (Real Madrid).

For Colombia, the striker Poveda (Sheffield Wed) gave up due to injury just like Cabal (Hellas Verona), Cristian Borja (Braga) without forgetting to mention the midfielders Barrios (Zenit, 57 sel) and Cuadrado (Inter, 116 sel) or even the offensive players Cassierra (Zenit) and Andres Gomez (Real Salt Lake) all absent for this competition. This does not prevent us from offering a real paper for the Colombians who can ideally count on the return to form of their playing master, James Rodriguez, now a resident of Sao Paulo after a trip in decline from Monaco to Olympiakos. We will also note the presence of Borre (Internacional), the future of this selection Luis Diaz (Liverpool), Sanchez (Galatasaray), and Mojica (belonging to Villarreal). Note that during the first day, the starting central defender Lucumi (Bologna) had to be replaced by Yerry Mina (Cagliari) and is not certain of being there tonight.
