Can only see a Columbia win here. They are the only team really playing well in the tournament at the moment and they look a lot more solid than the Brazil team who are playing under a huge amount of pressure and expectations.
I've backed them at 7/2 in the outright market, 15/2 btts Columbia win, 15/2 -1 goal and 35/1 -2 goals.
What's everyone's opinion on tomorrow nights game?
brazil never been value, lost some laying them to qualify v chile (painful), will keep laying them as still value (can't be like France in 98 can they? at least france had good defence)

Unlucky booksseller that's a sore one to take. Especially with chile hitting the bar close to the end. I believe Brazil are very average whereas the Columbians confidence is sky high at the moment. Obviously I have went slightly overboard with the -2 but had to fire something on at that price. GL will all your bets on the game folks.

this is the entire problem with basing assessment on past performances - it can be easily skewed
yes, Brazil have looked average and the price may look skinny but there is nothing to stop them coming out and taking a 2-0 lead early
in play trading for me, pre-off judgements could easily be way off

I'd say that a lay of Brazil is possibly the best approach, and it's what I've done, but Judo is also correct: the first ten minutes will be critical.
If Colombia come out with a swagger and Brazil continue to disappoint, I can see the pre-match odds being made to look ridiculous. But if after the first stretch it emerges that Colombia are struggling to get/keep the ball, they may start to get a little nervous. I expect Pekerman to play a five-man midfield to limit this.
