Colombia vs Brazil Prediction & Betting tips
It is blown back on Tuesday night in the South American World Cup qualifier when Colombia visits Barranquilla from Brazil. The home country must win the already placed visitors in order to keep her World Cup opportunities.
Colombia :
Colombia is still a second place despite 25 points and provisionally a second place still not sure of participation in the World Cup next year. With only three duels, Los Cafeteros felt the hot breath of Uruguay (24 points), Chile and Argentina (both 23 points) in the neck. In any case, one of these countries will miss the boat in the fight for direct World Cup qualification.
Last thursday, Colombia slammed himself in a freak by averij to catch up with Venezuelan striker: 0-0. The yellow shirts dominated, but only rarely became really dangerous. Game maker James Rodriguez remained on the side due to a slight muscle injury and node was missed. The sparing turns that Colombia was aware of the enemy’s goal was the young Venezuela lockout Farinez’s male.
In a victory on Venezuela, Colombia was very sure of World Cup qualification, but now the country is under pressure. History does not really work, because in the World Cup qualifiers, Colombia won in home with two goalless games and three defeats never to win from Brazil. In addition, the Colombians knew only one goal in those five games. This World Cup qualification also gives the lack of scoring ability (18 goals in 15 matches) coach Pekerman sleepless nights. The good news is that Vedette James Rodriguez against Brazil is likely to be fit enough to take action. With five goals and four assists in this World Cup qualifier, the number ten is the big man on the side of Los Cafeteros. His playing is therefore crucial to the opportunities of Colombia, which is not going to look the cat out of the tree. “For our own public, we must take the initiative immediately, we can not watch the cat from the tree,” said Gutierrez, an assassin in a native city near Falcao.
Brazil:
Brazil, this World Cup qualifier is a class apart. With 36 points out of fifteen games, Divine Kanaries have a street length ahead of the competition and can already book their plane tickets to Russia. A nice piece of work, especially when you realize that the five-time world champion did not bathe in the first five World Cup qualifiers with just two wins, three matches and a defeat among former coach Dunga. However, since the time Tite was appointed as an elector, the Brazilians run like a train – the nine consecutive World Championship qualifiers were won one by one. That includes the last Friday’s 2-0 win over Ecuador. In particular, Coutinho’s 2-0 was one to list.
Brazil is so hot again after a lesser period of time. At the training in Manaus to prepare for Colombia, more than 36,000 fans came down, almost as much as in the match against Ecuador in Porto Alegre. Miranda and Marcelo defenders are already home – Miranda has been injured while Marcelo is facing a suspension against Colombia. Jemerson and Alex Sandro have been replaced by the national team, even though they will probably start on the bench. The Brazilian Globo Esporte expects Thiago Silva and Filipe Luis to take Miranda and Marcelo’s places. Perhaps Roberto Firmino and Fernandinho also qualify for a base.
