Colombia - Brazil

SOUTH AMERICA: World Cup - Qualification - Round 5
Brazil goes through World Cup qualification without a single defeat. In nine matches, coach Tite's squad has not even lost a point and there is no doubt about qualifying for Qatar. The team is showing great quality up front and at the back, which is confirmed by the overall score of 22:3. The team has gone through a generational change, especially on the offensive line there are a number of extremely fast players. Among the most experienced, on the other hand, is Neymar (29 years old), who did not play in the last win over Venezuela (3:1). In any case, coach Tite can rotate the lineup in Colombia, try out other players, main players from Europe can get less minutes.

Colombia, on the other hand, is fifth in the qualification and holds the last qualification position (Promotion). The hosts are under pressure but extremely motivated. The team is not in bad form, having not lost five times in a row (2-3-0), beating both Chile and Peru at home. With traditional players Cuadrado, Mina, Zapata, Ospina and Falcao in the squad, the team will not be afraid of the Brazilians.

In the last 10 games of Colombia were scored 23 goals, an average of 2.3 goals per game. In last ten matches of Brazil were scored "only" 21 goals and their goal average is 2.1 goals per game.

H2H:
Brazil 2:1 Colombia (Copa America - 2021)

My bet:
Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.44 (bet365)

This is very tricky match and I don't know if I will bet here... I'll wait for squads announcement and then might choose. I considered first half draw @ 1,95 as Brazil has great defensive display and is (not officialy but for sure) already qualified, that will add to their cautious style as Colombians are dangerous opponent. On the other hand it's true Colombia has a good striking force and they are one of few South America's teams that can cause trouble to Brazilians.

Also, if Neymar will get the start, and I expect him there, I consider betting him to score @ 2,20 as he has been silent for a few weeks in Europe and national team suits him well plus he execute the penalties.

Okay Neymar in, and as I'm getting a nice money in SPA - FRA match, I will give it a try here too:

Neymar is finished. Worst form of his life. Raphinha did more in 30 minutes than Neymar in his last 5 or 6 games combined...
