Even without Neymar, the Brazilian national team is the favorite for the match against Colombia, according to betting houses.
On Thursday night (20), Brazil and Colombia face each other in a match valid for the 13th round of the Qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The game takes place at the Mané Garrincha stadium, in Brasília, at 21:35 pm (Brasília time). Despite the balanced history of recent encounters, the main betting houses have already defined the favorite for the duel.
The main highlight of Dorival Júnior's squad selection was the exclusion of Neymar, the Santos striker, who had been called up after more than a year away from the Brazilian national team. However, the squad assembled by the coach still shows itself to be full of good options and tends to have a significant advantage in a head-to-head analysis against the Colombian team. Not to mention that the Brazilian national team wants to recover its good form and achieve a better ranking in this edition of the qualifiers.
On the other hand, Colombia arrives confident for the match. Occupying 4th position in the tournament standings, ahead of Brazil, the team led by coach Néstor Lorenzo believes it can make life difficult for the Brazilian team away from home. It's worth remembering that the squad includes names familiar to Brazilian fans, such as Santiago Arias from Bahia, Richard Ríos from Palmeiras, Jhon Arias from Fluminense, and Rafael Borré from Internacional.
According to the country's main betting houses such as Aposta Ganha, BetAll, Bet, Betano, BETesporte, BetNacional, Betsson, Betsul, Betpix365, Bigbet, Bravo.Bet, Caesars, Betting House, Lucky Sports, EstrelaBet, H2bet, KTO, MrJackBet, MCGames, Multibet, Obabet, Onabet, King of Pitaco, Stake, Online Luck, Superbet, Traditional e VaidebetBrazil appears as the big favorite for the match. The odds for a victory for Dorival Júnior's team are around 1.75, while the odds for a Colombian triumph are 5.00.
The Brazil vs Colombia match takes place this Thursday night (20), at 21:30 pm (Brasília time). The duel will be held at the Mané Garrincha stadium and will be broadcast by Globo, on open TV, SporTV, on pay TV, and on the Globoplay streaming service.
