Selecao went down 1-0 to the Colombians in their previous encounter but will secure progression to the next round with a win. Douglas Costa or Philippe Coutinho will most likely replace the suspended Neymar, while everyone else is available for the clash. Venezuela can also secure a spot in the next round should they pick up a win over the Brazilians.
