(South African time) Selecao come into this clash top of Group C, after goals from Neymar and Douglas Costa secured a 2-1 win over Peru in their opening game. Liverpool midfielder, Philippe Coutinho, is expected to return to the side, after missing the opening game with an injury he sustained during training. With the win over Peru, Brazil have now won 12 successive games under coach Dunga, who replaced Luiz Felipe Scolari after the World Cup. Colombia, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from their shock 1-0 loss to Venezuela in their opening game, despite fielding a star-studded team. José Pekerman is likely to keep faith with Radamel Falcao and Carlos Bacca upfront, although Jackson Martinez did impress when he was introduced in the second half against Venezuela. The last time these two sides met, goals from Thiago Silva and David Luiz were enough to hand Brazil a 2-1 win over Colombia at the quarterfinals of the 2014 World Cup.
