Brazil and Colombia will face each other today, June 23, for Matchday 4 of Copa America 2021 at Estádio Nilton Santos in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil wants to remain unbeaten in the tournament, while Colombia has to get its feet back on track against the toughest rival.
As expected, Brazil has been the best team so far with two victories in their two matches. First, they beat 3-0 Venezuela in the opening match and then trashed Peru 4-0. Tite’s team also has scored more goals than any other, and they want to keep with the party.
On the other hand, Colombia will come into this match with a lack of good results. After winning 1-0 against Ecuador, Venezuela held Los Cafeteros in a goalless draw and then Peru stunned them with a 2-1 win. It’s not a good sign for Reinaldo Rueda’s team, that now will have their biggest test yet.
