In the previous World Cup qualifiers, Colombia faced the disappointment of missing out on a trip to Qatar, a stark contrast to the nation's accustomed presence among the football elite. Despite an impressive unbeaten streak of 15 games, featuring ten wins and five draws, Nestor Lorenzo's team recently encountered a setback with three consecutive draws in the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Their upcoming challenge involves taking on a Brazil side that has fallen short of expectations. The Selecao's lackluster performances, highlighted by a 1-1 draw at home against Venezuela and a painful defeat in Uruguay, have left them struggling in the standings. The team's chemistry appears lacking, resembling a collection of individual talents rather than a cohesive unit. Lingering defensive issues from the World Cup in Qatar persist, and there's a noticeable void in playmakers ready to step up in Neymar's absence.
As Brazil prepares to face Colombia, they are keenly aware of the need to shore up their defenses to prevent their opponents from making gains in the standings. Failure to do so could see Colombia leapfrogging ahead, adding further intrigue to this crucial match in the ongoing qualifiers.
