Penalties a real possibility
Uruguay were one of the favourites to win the Copa America. Having knocked Brazil out, the bookmakers believe they will be in the final alongside Argentina.
However, Colombia have continued to show why they shouldn’t be dismissed lightly after yet another convincing 5-0 victory over Panama.
Colombia, who held Brazil in the group stage, head into this tie unbeaten in 27 matches, the longest in international football across the world.
With so much at stake, it might just take penalties to split them and the draw appears to be a big price heading into the match.

Striker set to shine
If Colombia are to find the back of the net, they have several options who have found their way onto the scoresheet in the tournament. However, Krasnodar’s main striker Jhon Cordoba has taken his opportunity to lead the line and hasn’t looked back.
Head coach Nestor Lorenzo initially started Rafael Borre, but after a couple of disappointing displays in front of goal, Cordoba became his preferred striker.
With two goals to his name against Costa Rica and Panama, Cordoba has proven to be a threat both with his feet and in the air.
With James Rodriguez’s free kicks and corners being a constant threat, and with Uruguay having two key defenders out injured, the former Real Madrid midfielder may be able to pick out his striker once again from a set piece.

Both teams capable of scoring
Although Colombia are having plenty of fun at the Copa America, Uruguay thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the group stage.
Having scored nine goals across their three matches, it was a shame to see them draw a blank against Brazil. However, Darwin Nunez had a golden opportunity from six yards out in the first half, and you’d bet on him to score if given that opportunity again.
With six different goalscorers, Uruguay will be a threat to Colombia’s unbeaten record. Colombia have also proven how dangerous they are in front of goal, scoring in every single match throughout the tournament.
It promises to be a close game, but a 1-1 draw wouldn’t be surprising.
