Brazil is preparing for a decisive match against Colombia. On June 2nd, Brazil will play for first place in the group. It will be a difficult game. Despite having already secured qualification, Brazil wants to take first place in the group.

The Brazilian team did not start the Copa América well, when everyone thought they would win, only a draw against Costa Rica frustrated the fans. Thus, the game against Paraguay took on a dramatic tone.

Only a victory would keep Brazil more relaxed in the competition, and it came with a show by Vinícius Júnior. The Real Madrid player had his best performance in the national team jersey against the Paraguayans.

The athlete's performance brought back confidence and the chance to finish the first phase in first place in the group. Thus, Brazil is preparing for a decisive game against Colombia to face the Colombians. Find out everything now.

How has Brazil and Colombia's campaign been so far?

In first place in the group, Colombia has been playing convincing football, and it is beautiful to watch. James Rodrigues has been shining with assists and masterful touches, the goals are coming, so that these are two victories for the Colombians.

So far, the Colombians have won 2 games, scored 5 goals and conceded only 1. In addition, their good football, with attacking and intensity, is catching everyone's attention. Therefore, it will be very difficult to play against James Rodrigues' team.

Brazil, on the other hand, played against a very closed team in the first match, Costa Rica managed to defend very well, snatching a 0-0 draw. This made things much more difficult for the Brazilians, who, despite the 4-1 victory over the Paraguayans, are still in the group.

This means that Colombia has 6 points and Brazil only has 4 for this round. Therefore, a draw is enough for Colombia to finish first in the group. Who will win on July 2, Brazil or Colombia?

How important is it to finish first in the group?

Initially, both teams secured a place in the next phase of the competition, however, the first placed team will face a weaker team in the next round. Of course, we can say that it is a supposedly weaker team.

Let us explain what this means: whoever comes first in the group will face the second-placed team from group C. If they come second, they will face the first-placed team from the other group, which is supposedly a stronger team.

Well, facing a weaker team in the next phase could be the guarantee of a qualification. In the meantime, Dorival Júnior can improve the team for the next matches. The result against Costa Rica caused concern for the Brazilians.

Now, Brazil goes into a decisive game with 4 players suspended, at risk of losing them for the next phase. All of this is a consequence of a draw against Costa Rica, in addition to a decisive game against a strong Colombia.

How is Brazil preparing for the decisive game against Colombia?

Finally, coach Dorival Júnior continues his training to adjust the team for this decisive match. The training sessions take place at Stanford Stadium in Palo Alto, and the starting lineup will be defined only one day before the games.

Therefore, what Brazilians hope is that Vinícius Júnior will have another day of great inspiration. Even though some changes in the team may occur, perhaps a change in the defense, Éder Militão leaves and Gabriel Magalhães enters.

Vinícius Júnior will be kept in the starting line-up, and ends up being the biggest hope for goals, along with Rodrygo, both from Real Madrid. Therefore, the attack should be maintained, after all, it was the team's best game so far.

So, we should see a team formed like this:

  • Alisson
  • Danilo
  • Gabriel Magalhães
  • Marquinhos
  • Wendell
  • John Gomes
  • Bruno Guimaraes
  • Lucas Paqueta
  • Rodrygo
  • Vini Jr
  • Savinho
