The winner of Group D in the Copa Americawill, to no one's surprise, come down to the final matchday between Brazil And Colombia on Tuesday. It's winning the game and winning the group, as Colombia are perfect with six points, while Brazil came back from a drawing with Costa Rica to push Paraguay aside. It is important to win the group, as the winner will probably avoid Uruguay in the quarterfinals. Vinicius Junior against Luis Diaz is a big showdown, but this is also a clash that shows the changing tides of South American football. Colombia are unbeaten in their last 25 games, while Brazil have won just two of their last five, and winning this group would help show why Los Cafteros are among the favorites to win the entire tournament.

Storylines
Brazil: I hope to see more of the Vini Jr. who tore Paraguay apart and less of the man who historically played for Brazil. He stepped up when it mattered, but this team needs him to be the man in every game. Rodrygo struggled to get shots on target, which could require a lineup change from Dorival Juniorbut Brazil is expected to continue operating with a similar squad.
Colombia: Despite having played just two games, Colombia are tied for the third most goals scored of any team in the tournament and will be able to make the most of their chances against a poor Brazilian defence. Los Cafteros are relentless on the counter and know who they are and what they want to do, while James Rodriguez has turned back the clock and taken the team to the next level.
Predicted lineups
Brazil: Alisson, Wendell, Marquinhos, Eder Militao, Danilo, Joao Gomes, Bruno Guimares, Vinicus Junior, Lucas Paqueta, Savio, Rodrygo
Colombia: Camilo Vargas, Daniel Munoz, Davidson Sanchez, Carlos Cuesta, Johan Mojica, Richard Rios, Jefferson Lerma, Jhon Arias, James Rodriguez, Rafel Santos Borre, Luis Diaz
Prediction
Colombia need a draw to win the group, and they will do just enough to stop Brazil and achieve that goal, while the other contenders advance. Choice: Brazil 1, Colombia 1
