Spain vs Colombia Prediction & Betting Tips (22 March)

Colombia go into their next match with the wind at their back from an exciting 3-2 win against Mexico. Néstor Lorenzo's side have shown that they can survive under pressure and score crucial goals. With nine goals in their last six games, Colombia is characterized by a solid attack, even if they don't quite match Spain's goal flooding.

Key players like Roger Martínez and Andrés Gómez show that they can be there in crucial moments.

Spain must deal with several packages for this March gathering. We are thinking first of all about Barça midfielders Pedri and Gavi. We can also point out the absences of defender Pau Torres (Aston Villa), the promising Riquelme (Atletico Madrid) or even the wingers Asencio (PSG), Ferran Torres (Barcelona) and Ansu Fati (Brighton). Very effective in the selection, Alvaro Morata (Atletico Madrid, 34 goals in 69 seasons) constitutes the major offensive asset of La Roja. The important Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad) and Dani Olmo (Leipzig) are also present, as are the dynamite Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao) and the essential midfielder Rodri (Manchester City). Despite their young age, the Blaugranas Cubarsi (17 years old) and Lamine Yamal (16 years old) are in the list.

The Colombia coach is deprived of important defenders Yerry Mina (Cagliari) and Davinson Sanchez (Galatasaray), who are injured. This is also the case of the other defender Borja (Braga), the left side of Lens Machado, the right piston Cuadrado (Inter), the midfielder Uribe (Al Sadd) and the attackers Sinisterra (Bournemouth), Poveda (Sheffield Wednesday ), Mosquera (Bragantino) and Valoyes (Juarez). After crossing the desert, Monaco playmaker James Rodriguez (Sao Paulo, 27 goals in 96 seasons) has been coming back to life for some time. He is expected to play an important role just like defenders Munoz (Crystal Palace) and Lucumi (Bologna), midfielder Lerma (Crystal Palace) as well as attackers Luis Diaz (Liverpool, 11 goals in 45 seasons) and Santos Borré (Internacional , 5 goals in 30 sessions).
