In the fifth round of the World Cup qualification tournament, a match between the national teams of Colombia and Brazil will take place at the Estadio Metropolitano on the night of November 17. The game is scheduled to kick off at 01:00 Central European Time.

Colombia:

The team fell just short of success in the race for a spot in the last World Cup. They were more hopeful of catching up with Peru than counting on Ecuador's disqualification. As a result, James Rodriguez and company missed out on a place in Qatar. In the current qualification cycle, Colombia sits in fifth place without any defeats. After a victory in the opening match against Venezuela, the Colombians have drawn three consecutive games.

Brazil:

The team started the new cycle in a somewhat difficult situation, deciding to wait for Carlo Ancelotti until 2024, while Fernando Diniz, also coaching Fluminense, currently serves as the head coach. Carlo is expected to join the team only after the next Copa America, approximately a year from now. Recently, there have been reports that Carlo may extend his contract with Real Madrid. Against this backdrop, the team did not start very successfully. After two wins, there was a disappointing draw with Venezuela and a defeat to Uruguay. Moreover, Neymar suffered an injury in the match against Uruguay. Despite this, there is no doubt that the Brazilians will secure a high position and head to North America in 2026, but at the moment, the team is not in the best form.

Interesting facts about the match and the history of head-to-head meetings:

• Colombia has conceded a goal in only one of their last six matches.
• Brazil has only one away win in the last three matches.
• Colombia has not beaten Brazil since 2015.

Prediction:

Brazil, despite not being in the best form, is considered the favorite in this confrontation. Considering the squad, Diniz's team seems stronger, so I believe that the Brazilians have a better chance of winning. I'm betting on the away team with a 0 handicap.
