Why you should back Brazil

Despite Colombia's impressive unbeaten streak, Brazil still features a star-studded lineup even though they are missing Neymar. One of those stars is 23-year-old forward Vinicius Junior. He has been a member of the Brazilian national team since 2019 and has registered five goals in 32 appearances. Two of those goals came in Friday's win over Paraguay. Vinicius Jr. is a standout performer for Real Madrid in Spain's La Liga. In 26 matches this past season, he scored 15 goals.

 

Another offensive weapon for Brazil is forward Rodrygo. The 23-year-old also joined the national team in 2019 and has scored six goals in 25 matches. Like Vinicus Jr., he also is a member of Real Madrid in La Liga. He scored 10 goals in 34 matches this past season and has 26 in 142 league matches since joining the side in 2019. His last international goal came in a 1-1 draw with the United States in an international friendly on June 12. See which team to pick here. 

 

Why you should back Colombia

The Colombians are led by midfielder James Rodriguez. The 32-year-old captain has played for the national team since 2011, scoring 27 goals in 102 appearances. He helped set up both goals in the opening win over Paraguay. He plays professionally for Sao Paulo of Serie A in Brazil, and is in his second year with the club. In 507 career appearances with several different leagues since turning pro in 2007, he has compiled 131 goals in 507 appearances.

 

Another offensive weapon is forward Luis Diaz. The 27-year-old joined the Colombian national team in 2018 and has produced 13 goals in 51 matches. He scored the first goal in Friday's win over Costa Rica in the 31st minute on a penalty kick. Diaz scored both goals in a 2-1 win over Brazil in 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying in November. He plays professionally for Liverpool of the English Premier League. In three seasons, he has scored 16 goals in 67 league matches. See which team to pick here.
