This matchup sure keeps the odds makers busy! Brazil can flash some serious star power with players like Lucas Paquetá and Vinícius Júnior, not to mention their practically wall-like goalkeeper Alisson, who’s got five saves to his name.
But let’s not get carried away by the Samba and Caipirinhas; Colombia is not a team to be taken lightly. One only needs to glance at James Rodríguez's figures to understand why. That man comes with an accurate pass of 90.9%, and he's not alone. Daniel Muñoz and Davinson Sánchez have proven they're not there to simply enjoy the scenery. Plus, they’ve got Camilo Vargas who has shown some quick reflexes in front of the goal.
Now, the past encounter between these two heavyweights ended in favor of Brazil with a close 2-1. So, Colombia will be eager for some good old-fashioned payback. Looking at the tournament records, we've got Colombia who's been flawless with 2 wins, whereas Brazil managed 1 win and 1 draw.
A scroll through the recent results shows Colombia keeping the scoreboards busy, while Brazil hasn’t been as lethal. But hey, it's Copa América and the tropical heat can throw a curveball anyone’s way.
Alright, drum roll, please! Following the numbers, the impressive form of Colombia, and the fact that 'revenge is a dish best served cold' or in this case, in a hot stadium filled with thousands of screaming fans, it seems we might be looking at a surprising result.
