Who's playing? The 2016 Olympic Games' hosts struggled, but they made it to the knockout stage of the football tournament practically unharmed. With a 4-0 win against Denmark, Neymar & Co. made it to the Quarter finals, keeping the country's Gold Medal hopes intact.
On the other hand, Colombia shocked the highly-rated Nigerian side with a 2-0 win, and their prospects of shocking Brazil are higher than ever. Los Cafeteros will rely on their goal scoring duo of Teo Gutierrez and Dorlan Pabón, who have scored five of the team's six goals in the competition.

Team news
Brazil's Thiago Maia will be out of this game after picking a second yellow card during the match against Denmark. Despite this absence, the team will be gunning for a semi-final spot with the help of Neymar, who is still to make his goal scoring debut in the tournament.
This game might bring sad memories back for the Brazilian ace, since he picked up a tournament-ending injury against Los Cafeteros during the 2014 World Cup.
On the other side of the pitch, Colombia will have a new defender available. Juan Sebastián Quintero will replace Felipe Aguilar in the Colombian squad after the latter picked up an injury, forcing coach Carlos Restrepo to improvise. Striker Teo Gutierrez will try to add one more goal to his tally, as he is one of the front runners for the scoring title with three goals so far.
