Hypothetically, Brazil would need to lose by three, and Costa Rica would have to beat Paraguay by four to knock the Brazilians out of the tournament. It is time to continue our Copa America odds series with a Brazil-Colombia prediction, pick, and how-to-watch.
Brazil started the tournament with a brutal 0-0 draw with Costa Rica, but you knew they’d make a statement in their second match against Paraguay.

Why Brazil Will Win
Brazil rediscovered their scoring touch in their last match, which could be trouble for Colombia. Colombia allowed just one goal over their first two matches, but this game with Brazil will be different. Colombia may have an unbelievable run since 2022, but this will be one of the best offenses they will face.
Brazil’s struggles against Costa Rica didn’t seem as bad when you realize they possessed the ball 74% of the time and had 19 shot attempts. Brazil didn’t dominate nearly as much against Paraguay, possessing the ball just 55% of the time, tying them in shots, and having just two more shot attempts.
Soccer can be a funny sport, as Brazil had a tight game on paper with Paraguay and beat them 4-1, but dominated Costa Rica and tied them 0-0.
Why Colombia Will Win
It’s hard to bet against Colombia at this point. They haven’t lost since February 1st, 2022, and their last game against Costa Rica felt like a scenario where they could finally struggle. Colombia dominated them in a way that Brazil could only dream of, setting the stage for another victory for Colombia in this matchup.
Colombia didn’t come all this way to drop this final match and lose first in the group to Brazil. The Colombians knew this would be the eventual challenge and they’ll be ready to assert their international dominance.
Final Brazil-Colombia Prediction & Pick
Brazil’s defense didn’t look too promising against Paraguay, letting them get 15 shot attempts and six shots on goal. If they put in this effort against Colombia, their offensive attack will be too much for the Brazilians to handle. It could be a high-scoring affair as the teams will trade blows to get first place in the group, and the over looks like a great play.
