Match Preview

The road to the 2026 World Cup is already underway for nations in the South America region, and one nation that will be in need of a response this week will be Brazil. The South American heavyweight comes into this match in Colombia after suffering a rare defeat in World Cup qualification, and a second straight loss could see them drop outside of the top five.

However, Brazil have won two of their four qualification matches to this point, which means that only Argentina have picked up more victories so far. But, they were way below their best in Uruguay last month, as they fell to a 2-0 away defeat. In that loss, Brazil failed to record a single shot on target.

Colombia could see this as a great time to be coming up against Brazil, as they have gone four international matches without defeat. However, draws have been an issue in recent outings, as they have been held in each of their previous three. But, a return to winning ways on Thursday could lift them up to second in the overall standings.

Colombia also struggled in the attacking third in their most recent match, as they failed to convert from three shots on target in a 0-0 draw against Ecuador. However, they showed how talented they can be in their match prior, as they played out a 2-2 tie against Uruguay.
