Brazil – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Pentacampeons” received a new blow last autumn when the giants failed to beat Venezuela and lost 3 times in a row. Still, then Dorival Junior was finally appointed as a coach. In March, the specialist beat England on the away field and drew in the struggle with Spain, and the team had won a shoot-out against Mexico and finished a 1-1 draw in the confrontation with USA before the Copa.
The favourite started the tournament in the game against Costa Rica. And it did not score – 0-0. Still, then the team managed to defeat Paraguay – as a result, a draw is enough for reaching the play-offs now.
Colombia – the shape of the team and its analysis:
“The Coffee Growers” missed the World Cup 2022. Still, then they simply refused to lose to anyone, constantly improving their unbeaten streak. The team, as part of the autumn qualification, took 3 victories and draws, after which it won all 6 friendly matches.
Being already at the Copa, Nestor Lorenzo’s wards started with Paraguay and, although not without problems, the team won confidently. And the defeat of Costa Rica guaranteed early entry into the play-offs, and now it’s possible to fight to maintain 1st place.
