Argentina vs. Colombia Predictions

• Where: Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, USA
• When: Monday, July 15, 08:00 AM

The two best teams in this tournament—Argentina and Colombia — will battle for the title. This is a well-deserved final for both crews, who showed good football and were confident from the start until now. However, we must admit that the Gauchos had a much easier path towards this stage, with their part of the draw looking much weaker. Los Cafeteros fought through the adversity fair and square, extending their miraculous unbeaten streak to 28 matches now.

Argentina vs. Colombia Preview

Argentina

Messi and the boys had nothing but wins in the past ten games. When we focus only on Copa America, we’ll notice that Gauchos allowed only one goal in five appearances, highlighting superb defense, which isn’t only because of the back line but the entire team.

There was no surprise against Canada in the semis, with Argentina easily dispatching Les Rouges, 2-0. The sole problematic game for them at this championship was against Ecuador in the quarterfinals, once they had to go through overtime and some very scary moments, which luckily didn’t hurt them.
Now, even though the defense is the key to Argentina’s wins, the offense does an outstanding job. Scaloni’s boys have scored two or more goals in seven of the previous ten games.

Colombia

An Argentinian coach, Nestor Lorenzo, revolutionized the Colombian team. We’ve said it before, and we will say it again: he perfectly found out how to bring out the best from the players and the team in general. That’s why Los Cafeteros haven’t lost for 28 events.

Apart from nine wins, the only game this team didn’t win was against Brazil in the group stage, 1-1. In all others, Colombia defeated its rivals, and some of them were: Spain, Mexico, USA, Uruguay, etc.

The semi-final match against La Celeste was fiery, and Colombia beat the big rivals minimally, 1-0. Jefferson Lerma scored the only goal in the first halftime, shortly after which Daniel Munoz received a red card, which will force him to skip the finals.

Argentina vs Colombia Head to Head

The last time these two teams met was the last time Colombia lost a game. It was in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in February that year. Messi and the boys triumphed at home, 1-0. The year before, we saw them meeting in the Copa America semis, where Argentina eliminated Los Cafeteros following a penalty shootout.

Argentina vs. Colombia Predictions

This is a very risky match for making a prognosis about the winner, so our pick here will be about goals. Like pretty much all big-time games in South American football, this one won’t bring too many goals, two at most.

Our verdict: Under 2.5 goals
