Colombia Team News
Colombia had to beat Chile in front of their fans three days ago to keep their World Cup dream alive. Facing a hefty deficit of seven points with just a couple of minutes remaining, tension and despair started building up in the arena but the Colombians managed to survive a heart-stopping ending and turn it around.
Led by their stars from Europe, Braian Angola and Juan Palacios, they edged Chile by only one point(67:66) in a very scrappy and low-scoring affair. With more or less their strongest roster at the moment they will now try to do the impossible and take down the main Latin powerhouse Brazil. Chile losing to a much stronger Uruguay team away from home seems more than realistic but Colombia will have to beat Brazil to advance because of point differential.

Brazil Team News
With a star-studded team packed with talent from domestic and European leagues, it is no wonder Brazil demolished Uruguay couple of days ago. By the time the fourth quarter started, they already built almost a 20-point lead and in the end came away with a routine 73:60 win. With that victory they preserved their flawless record and also the top position in the group.
Former NBA player Bruno Caboclo and Marcelinho Huertas are leading their team and will be the biggest danger for Colombia. In the first head-to-head Brazil comfortably won at home by 46 points(119:73), so obviously there is a gulf in class between these teams despite the Colombian team playing without its main stars from Europe in the initial clash. This time they have more quality but Brazil is still much better so it will be interesting to see if they can keep up playing at home in this crucial game.

Colombia vs. Brazil Prediction
Colombia have all to play for at home and will also be closely monitoring the clash between Uruguay and Chile. Even though they are going up against probably the best national team in Latin American basketball, they have nothing to lose and all to gain so they should remain competitive and cover the spread.
