Brazil travel to Colombia for this match in great shape after winning all of their qualifying games so far.
They edged out the stubborn Ecuador comfortably 2-0 last weekend and will be expected to also ease past the Colombians here with no pressure on them but beating Colombia would represent a tougher task for them to accomplish.
This game may not be as free flowing for the Brazilians as their other matches have been as Colombia are one of the best defensive teams in South America and we expect them to give the Brazilians a tough time.
Colombia were held to a draw by Venezuela in their last game which proved to be tougher than expected as the Venezuelans are rock bottom of the qualifying group.
That result meant they are now unbeaten in their last five matches and they will look to stretch that to 6 games with at least a draw in this match.
While Brazil are slight favourites for this tie based on current form, we expect the Colombians to take advantage of the scorching Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Melendez atmosphere and play the Brazilians with no fear.
