WC Qualification: Brazil vs. Colombia

[Malchus]

12.11.21 - 01:30 CET

Brazil can be the first South American team to qualify for the World Cup if they get more points from their match against Colombia than Uruguay and Argentina, or if they win the next two matches no matter what the results are. Either way, Brazil's progression is only a matter of time, they went through the qualifying group really smoothly and so far the only two points they have lost were to their nearest rival, whom they drew goalless. But still Neymar and co. are doing absolutely perfect, which is best demonstrated by their overall score of 26:4. Colombia is a team that has lost only two games in South American qualifying, but is hampered by seven draws. All three of Colombia's matches in October ended 0-0, not only against Brazil but also against Ecuador and Uruguay, with whom they are competing for direct qualification to the World Cup. Without the injured captain and the national team's top scorer Radamel Falcao, it doesn't look like a shooting revival this time either. The Brazilians are complete except for two absences (Firminho, Felipe) and ready to finish the process and advance to World Cup in Qatar.

Prediction:
Asian Handicap: Brazil -1.0 @ 1.63

Honestly Colombia aint going anywhere this way. Only 2 wins in 13 games, with 7 draws along the way. Now Peru and Chile are back on the race and together Uruguay I don't see Colombia getting that 5th spot.

Brazil are going to get knock out in the WC by the first team with a semblance of tactics. How a team so filled to the brim with talent can come out on the pitch and look so disorganized and clueless I don't know. They look so bad.
