Brazil vs Colombia Betting Preview Pt 2
- By A.J. Ryder on July 2, 2014 23:15 GMT
The draw is likely to be a popular wager here and you can expect the 3.60 price it’s at right now to be a bit shorter once we actually kick off on Friday. The last hour or so of betting will be interesting to watch because, after two days with no World Cup to punt on, you can expect plenty of betting action from volume players.

Both teams look likely to win the series by outright qualification and you’ll find Brazil available at 1.38 and Colombia available at a straight 3.0 to get the job done here - even if it comes to penalties.
The 1-1 draw is the lowest priced correct score margin, paying out at 7.0 while a 1-0 result to Brazil can be backed at 7.5. 1-0 to Colombia is a rewarding 13.0 and, if they can keep the Brazilians frustrated and cut off service to the forward line, they have every chance of kicking on and moving forward.
It’s no surprise to any savvy football fan that Neymar is the significant favourite to score first in the match and he’s trading at 5.0. It didn’t look like he was at full fitness when they scraped through their last match in the Round of 16 and you have to wonder whether he will be able to deploy his best stuff. Hulk has been due some luck and he is available at a very solid 9.0 to score the first goal of the match.
James Rodriguez is the best-priced Colombian player to score first in the match and he’s available at a 9.0 listing as well.
It’s worth noting that Neymar is trading at a mere 21.0 to score a hat trick in this match - could you imagine the headlines if he was able to pull off something like that?
Both of these sides are good teams that can hold their own up front with anybody but may not be as defensive-minded as they should be - though Brazil have looked the more likely side to concede up to this point. The Come From behind And Win market is a tempting one with Brazil at 10.0 and Colombia at 19.0.
