Game Prediction
The national teams will finally start their performance in the middle of the week. And South America, where the qualification for the next World Cup has gained momentum, is not an exception. This will be the 5th round, and Brazil will come to Colombia. Will the guests be able to recover from the failures of the previous month? The authors of the website wrote their own version of the prediction for the essential match on November 17, 2023.
Colombia is clearly eager to gain ground
“The Coffee Growers” were ranked well and, speaking about the World Cup 2018, James and the company, after reaching the quarter-finals with a brilliant game, became the real opening. Still, it was no longer possible to go to Qatar: the team took only 6th place, not even qualifying for the play-offs, in the previous qualification. And the current mentor, Nestor Lorenzo, was clearly given the task of regaining the positions. Being under his rule, the team has not lost in the new qualification. On the other hand, it won only once – that was a battle against the outsider, Venezuela, in the 1st round at the home arena (moreover, it was only a 1-0 success). Then, there were goalless draws with Chile and Ecuador on the away field and a home 2-2 draw in the struggle with Uruguay.
Brazil clearly planned to start in a different way
“The Pentakampeons”, taking into account the results in Qatar, were stopped at the so-called “cursed” mark again – they were eliminated in the quarter-finals, as in 2018, and many times before that (except for the home World Cup, but there was a shame in the confrontation with Germany at the 1/2 stage). Tite has not been forgiven for the higher mentioned failure, but Ancelotti, with whom the football federation seems to have agreed, will take the position only next year. For now, the duties are performed by Fernando Diniz, who, at the same time, led Fluminense to the victory in the Copa Libertadores. Well, he does better at the club. The team started with the successes in the battles against Bolivia and Peru. Still, there were misfires in October: a 1-1 draw in the struggle with Venezuela and a 0-2 score in the game with Peru. Neymar was injured. Now, the team needs to rehabilitate itself, but it won’t be easy: a number of debutants were forced to be called, including a 17-year-old Endrik.
Previous head-to-head matches
“The Coffee Growers” had got only 1 victory in regular time after 1991. Still, 3 out of 5 previous matches brought the draws.

It goes without saying that the guests are the favourites of the following battle, but it won’t be easy-going. It is worth trying the neutral bet on “total: over 2.0” (odd: 1.81).
