Colombia vs Brazil prediction, preview, team news and more | Copa America Femenina Final 2022
Colombia will take on reigning champions Brazil in the Copa America Femenina final on Saturday.
Colombia are coming off a narrow 1-0 win over ten-woman Argentina in the semi-final. A 63rd-minute silky finish from Linda Lizeth Alegria was enough to seal the deal for Colombia and book their place in the final.
Brazil, meanwhile, barely broke a sweat to upstage Paraguay in the other semifinal. Two goals within half an hour were enough to take them to yet another Copa America Femenina title match. The seven-time champions are yet to concede in five games so far, scoring 19.

Colombia vs Brazil Prediction
Brazil enter this contest as the red-hot favourites, given their squad strength and recent form. They are on track to retain their title they won last time around, which will be their eighth Copa America Femenina triumph.
Colombia are also unbeaten in the competition, scoring 14 goals and conceding three, but this will be their biggest test of the campaign. Their record against Brazil is barely impressive to raise any optimism in their camp.
Nonetheless, Brazil will have to avoid complacency to win an eighth Copa America Femenina title. Barring an upset, Brazil are expected to win the final.
Prediction: Brazil 3-1 Colombia.
