Brazil vs. Colombia Live Stream, Preview, Predictions for Rio Olympics Quarterfinals As Neymar Looks to Build on Solid Performance
Brazil and Colombia face off in the quarterfinals of the Olympics on Saturday.
Brazil's tournament was teetering on the edge of disappointment heading into its final game against Denmark. The team, led by Barcelona superstar Neymar, had failed to score a single goal as it drew 0-0 in two games it was expected to win with relative ease. Neymar himself looked lost throughout those games, unable to connect with any of his teammates throughout.
But he was at his game-changing best in a 4-0 rout of Denmark that looked like a massive wakeup call to everyone else in the tournament. The message? Brazil is for real.
Colombia will be privy to that message despite having an impressive opening to the tournament. The South American side opened the tournament with two draws against Japan and Sweden before taking down group leader Nigeria 2-0 in its final group game.
Prediction
Brazil defeats Colombia 3-1 led by another strong performance from Neymar.

The match between Colombia and Brazil kicks off at 9 p.m. EDT on Saturday August 13.
