Preview of Brazil V Colombia match
Two South South Giants gather on Thursday night when Brazil and Colombia face.
The expansion of the World Cup has provided some relief to the South American teams, in particular Brazil, who could have faced a serious risk of losing if the tournament had remained in a competition of 32 teams.
Brazil is currently in fifth place in the standings, a position that in the past editions would have guaranteed only one play-off site.
With Paraguay in close persecution, El Selecao will be eager to strengthen their qualification prospects, as the first six teams now win automatic dockets.
With only 18 points out of 36 available, the Brazil campaign has been bewildering. Despite the crucial victories of Peru and Chile in October, their failure to overcome Venezuela and Uruguay a month later left them in a precarious situation.
Dorival Junior remains at the helm, although doubts persist on whether he will still be responsible when the World Cup starts, given the Brazilian struggles to classify and his disappointing America Cup campaign last year.
With a warm meeting against Argentina next week, getting a victory would relieve a little pressure before heading to Buenos Aires.
Let’s go up! 🇧🇷🔥
