Argentina vs Colombia Prediction & Betting Tips (11 June)

Reigning world champion, Argentina continues to establish its domination on the South American scene since it won the COPA America last July, its 2nd consecutive after that of 2021. All the lights are therefore green for the Albiceleste which caresses at the top of the ranking in these qualifiers with a 34-point assessment gleaned during the first 15 days. Deprived of Messi last March, the Argentines were able to impose themselves without any problem against Uruguay 0-1 and Brazil 4-1. They were then able to chain a 4th row victory on the night of Thursday to Friday against Chile 0-1. From its side, Colombia undoubtedly still has bitterness after its defeat lived at the end of the extensions in the final of the COPA America disputed last year against this same team of Argentina.

This disillusionment undoubtedly gave a sacred blow to the dynamics of the cafeteros which only won 2 of their 8 games played in these qualifiers thereafter. Worse, James Rodriguez's partners remain on 4 games without the slightest success against Uruguay 3-2, Ecuador 0-1, Brazil 2-1 and Paraguay 2-2. Colombia faces Peru on Friday evening to place itself in the classification of these qualifiers. 

Absent last March, the Lionel Messi legend (112 goals, 192 selections) returns to the group of the Albiceleste always fully acquired to its cause. His lieutenants such as the porter Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa) the striker Lautaro Martinez (Inter), the Colchoneros Julian Alvarez, of Paul, Angel Correa and Giuliano Simeone and the Lyonnais Almada and Tagliafico are there. The very good Lo Celso (Bétis) and the solid Cristian Romero (42 Sél) are also part of the group in the same way as the Marseillais Balerdi and Rulli and the residents of Ligue 1 Medina (Lens) and Barco (Strasbourg). Conversely, it is still necessary to point out the plans of Dybala (AS Roma), Valentin Carboni (Inter), Mac Allister (Liverpool) and Acuna (River Plate), Lisandro Martinez (Man United) and Montiel (River Plat). Against Chile, Julian Alvarez was able to score the only goal of the meeting, his 13th in 45 selections. Author of 6 goals in these qualifiers, the formidable Luis Diaz (Liverpool, 63 Sél, 18 goals) is well summoned for this gathering.

Suspended against Peru, it should be supported in the offensive sector by the Bétis attacker Cucho Hernandez (2 goals, 5 selections). The Colombians also present very beautiful weapons in the heart of the game with in particular James Rodriguez (124 Sél, 29 goals), the young Talent Asprilla (Girona) and Jefferson Lerma (Crystal Palace). The defensive line will also be well stocked with Lucumi (Bologna) Yerry Mina (Cagliari), Daniel Munoz (Palace), Sanchez (Galatasaray) and Machado (Lens). On the other hand, several elements are lacking at the call to the image of Mosquera (Wolverhampton), Cabal (Juventus) and offensives Rafael Borre (Internacional, 6 goals in 40 Sél), Quintero (5 goals in 41 Sél), Jhon Cordoba (4 goals in 16 Sél), Roger Martinez (4 goals, 28 capes) (Bournemouth, 18 capes, 5 goals) had to give up, all injured. The experienced Arias (62 Sél), Mojica (38 CAPES) and Cuesta (Galatasaray, 23 Sél) did not receive any convocation from their coach.
