Our prediction for the match Colombia vs Argentina
The "Cafeteros" missed out on the last World Cup, a point of regret, especially considering they found an excellent form. The unbeaten streak of James and company is undeniably impressive. However, during this period, Messi finally lifted the World Cup trophy after Argentina’s victory over France in the final in Qatar. Equally crucial to Lionel's goals and assists were the saves by Emiliano Martínez.
The Argentine goalkeeper also played a key role in helping his team defend their Copa América title. In the quarterfinal against Ecuador, Argentina only advanced after a penalty shootout. Colombia didn’t win a single match before the final, except in the third group stage game against Brazil, where they had already secured their position. In the final, they gave the favorites a hard fight, not conceding in regular time, but Lautaro Martínez scored in the 112th minute.
Now, the World Cup qualification campaign has resumed for both teams. This autumn, both squads have performed well. Argentina has five wins in six matches, while Colombia has won three and drawn three. In the last round, without Messi, Scaloni’s side crushed Chile 3-0. James and company, on the other hand, were surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw in Peru.
