Brazil vs Colombia Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Brazil will be looking to maintain the feel-good factor when they take on Colombia in Friday's international friendly at the Hard Rock Stadium.

The Selecao are on a high after lifting the Copa America trophy on home turf this summer, their ninth continental title and first since 2007.

Brazil vs Colombia latest odds

Having lost just three times in 31 previous encounters against this opposition, they are 4/7 (1.57) favourites with bet365 to extend their unbeaten streak to 17 games with a victory in Miami.

Carlos Queiroz's team was eliminated on penalties by Chile at the quarter-final stage of the Copa America, but can be backed at 19/4 (5.75) to put that disappointment behind them with a big win here.

This pair shared a 1-1 draw in Barranquilla when they last met in a World Cup qualifier in 2017, and there are odds of 3/1 (4.00) available on this one also finishing up all square.

Brazil vs Colombia team news

Neymar and Vinicius Junior have returned to the squad after missing out on the Copa America due to injury, although Alisson and Gabriel Jesus are unavailable due to injury and suspension respectively.

Radamel Falcao and James Rodriguez were left out of the squad due to minor injuries, with Daniel Munoz also forced to withdraw after suffering a torn hamstring.

Brazil vs Colombia preview

While Neymar's return is likely to gain plenty of attention, the real star of Tite's team is a defence that has conceded just 10 goals in 42 fixtures since he took over in September 2016.

Having kept seven clean sheets in their previous eight matches, they will surely back themselves to keep at arm's length a Cafeteros side that has scored just twice in the last three games and arrives in Florida without both Falcao and James.

Brazil vs Colombia predictions

Considering they have only conceded six times in the last 16 encounters with Colombia, odds of 8/5 (2.60) are well worth backing on Brazil securing yet another win and yet another clean sheet on Friday.
