Storylines
Brazil: I hope to see more of the Vini Jr. who tore Paraguay apart and less of the man who historically played for Brazil. He stepped up when it mattered, but this team needs him to be the man in every game. Rodrygo struggled to put shots on target, which could require a formation change from Dorival Juniorbut it is expected that Brazil will continue to operate with a similar XI.
Colombia: Despite playing just two games, Colombia are tied for scoring the third most goals of any team in the tournament and will certainly fancy their chances against Brazil’s poor defense. Ruthless on the counter, Los Cafteros know who they are and what they want to do James Rodriguez turning back the clock has taken the team to another level.

Brazil: Alisson, Wendell, Marquinhos, Eder Militao, Danilo, Joao Gomes, Bruno Guimares, Vinicus Junior, Lucas Paqueta, Savio, Rodrygo
