Brazil National Football Team Vs Colombia National Football Team Lineups is the best way to conclude your match prediction, not accurate but very close to win.
South American heavyweights take to the pitch, starting their match with an uncertain start and few clear cut chances.
Militao and Marquinhos are standing up well against Colombian pressure, although their backline has had difficulty finding Vinicius Jr or Rodrygo down the left flank – Munoz from Colombia is quick but less agile defender.
Brazil Lineup
Colombia have only conceded an opening-half goal once since last year’s come-from-behind win against Mexico 3-2, and on Tuesday will look to add one against Brazil. A victory would give La Tricolor seven points while their runners-up will play Panama in a quarterfinal clash.
Brazil have made two changes to their starting lineup since matchday two, with Wendell taking back his left-back spot over Guilherme Arana and Savio taking Raphinha’s place.
Two modifications see the Selecao start with a more traditional four-man backline, enabling them to tuck in at the back and play through their pacey attackers with greater freedom. Danilo remains at centre-back alongside Eder Militao and Marquinhos.
The trio were all proficient with handling the ball, showing excellent passing skills and making quick decisions with confidence. Furthermore, Lucas Paqueta and Joao Gomes combined intelligently to keep possession moving forward.
Vinicius Junior of Real Madrid has become the centerpiece of this team’s attack, but still faces yellow card suspension risk. Other potential centre-forward candidates such as Rodrygo, Endrick Gabriel Martinelli and Raphinha are available; it will be interesting to see how coach chooses to utilize his bench.
Brazil have taken control of the game, as Eder’s long pass from the right is collected by Rodrygo who nearly scores from outside of the box but his attempt is blocked by one of his opponents.
Luis Diaz delivers an outstanding cross to the penalty area and Jhon Cordoba has a chance to beat Alisson with his header, but is unable to direct it on target – Colombia fans are whistling away as their team struggles for an opening.
Colombia Lineup
Colombia enter this game as slight underdogs, yet their squad boasts numerous talents that have already proven them as formidable threats in this tournament. They remain undefeated in this competition so far and hope to extend that run of good form against Brazil in this must-win fixture. James Rodriguez has been impressive with his performances for Colombia’s national team and will hope to add to his three assists at this point in time.
Brazil will look to overcome their disappointing showing against Paraguay and ensure they finish at the top of their group at the conclusion of this round of games. They will field an unchanged squad featuring Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior making his first international appearance.
Colombia have started off the tournament well, winning matches against New Zealand and Canada with ease. Their greatest test yet lies ahead as they go up against a strong Brazilian side looking to qualify for the quarterfinals.
Levi’s Stadium has been packed to capacity as spectators watch this Group D matchup. National anthems were performed amid an electric atmosphere, and players are on their feet.
Colombia are exerting early pressure on Brazil’s defense, creating several chances through corner kicks; Jhon Cordoba attempts to connect with one, but Alisson saves easily.
Vinicius Junior has long been a source of danger for Colombia, thanks to his eye for goal. When trying to cut in from the right side, however, defender Bruno Guimaraes tripped him and the Colombians demanded a penalty – however the referee disallowed this claim after consulting VAR.
The second half begins slowly as both teams attempt to control possession. There was an early scare for Colombia when Wendell collided with Richard Rios and fell onto his backside, suffering pain before being helped off the field and replaced by Rafael Santos Borre and Mateus Uribe who replaced Cordoba and Roos respectively.
Goalkeepers
Brazil would need a win and draw against Colombia to qualify for the quarterfinals, though their positions would ultimately depend on goal difference. At present, Brazil are three points above Costa Rica while four are behind Colombia in Group D; making this game critical to both teams.
So far in this tournament, both defenses have been impressively effective but also vulnerable to some leaky attacks. If either team hopes to make an impactful statement during this matchup, the goalkeepers must be on top of their game.
Alisson has proven his mettle as the starting goalkeeper for Brazil so far at this tournament, making multiple saves while keeping his team ahead thanks to both his skills and those of his teammates.
Danilo, Militao, Marquinhos and Wendell have been key defensive figures for Selecao. Lucas Paqueta, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo have shown promise as forwards; however they must remain vigilant against Colombia’s dangerous attack.
Jhon Cordoba and Luis Diaz pose serious threats for the visitors, creating many great chances in the attacking third. To remain successful in this match, Selecao must find ways to control these two players and hold onto control.
Neymar has already impressed with his performances for Brazil this season, so he must remain effective against Colombia’s formidable attack. Rodrygo has shown himself capable of adding creativity and innovation to the Brazilian attack.
Raphinha comes close to scoring his second of the night as he curls a free kick just wide of Vargas’ right-hand post from outside of his own half. But first he must await the referee’s call on offside issues.
Subs
This week, the United States men’s national soccer team is facing South American powerhouse Brazil for its inaugural Copa America tune-up match this week and hopes to build on its disappointing 2-2 draw with Mexico last weekend. Coach Gregg Berhalter hopes his squad can build teamwork ahead of their 2024 tournament debut against Colombia on June 24.
Brazil last won in September against Ecuador; since then they have struggled and fallen to sixth in their CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying group. Their most recent loss, 2-1 against Paraguay, left many questioning whether Brazil can still secure their playoff berth.
With Alisson out with a hamstring injury, Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson will take over in his absence and should be capable of handling Colombia’s anticipated heavy attack. Ederson boasts solid defensive presence, good game reading skills and boasts strong aerial presence which should give Manchester City an advantage against their opponent.
Danilo will likely start at right back for Juventus, where his goal will be to stop Christian Pulisic from breaking through and reaching his targets. Danilo is also well known for his speed and ball-winning capabilities.
Marquinhos will likely start alongside Gabriel at center back for PSG, hoping to redeem himself after an underwhelming showing against Mexico on Saturday.
Lucas Paqueta should form part of the attacking line-up going forward and must take greater care with handling the ball after gifting Mexico their first goal on Saturday.
Raphinha has emerged as one of Brazil’s standout players over recent matches, contributing significantly to their success through creative work and consistent passing. While he needs to increase consistency with passing and improve coordination within the final third, he possesses enough talent and talent to elevate his performances further.
James Rodriguez has been at the heart of Colombian success and was outstanding against Panama. The former Real Madrid star recorded six assists and scored once during three matches played recently – showing how powerful his attack could be against United States opponents. Other key names for Colombia include Jefferson Lerma, Carlos Cuesta, Rafael Santos Borre and Jhon Cordoba.
