Argentina v Colombia

Argentina vs Colombia Preview

Argentina will be seeking a sixth win on the trot in this Copa America final as La Albiceleste look to claim back-to-back Copa America crowns having beaten Brazil 1-0 in the previous final, while Colombia will be eager to collect another scalp and produce an upset at the Hard Rock Stadium by recording a victory over the current World Cup holders in this upcoming all-CONMEBOL showdown.

Following their win on penalties against France in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Argentina have embarked upon a highly impressive sequence of results which have produced no fewer than 18 wins within their subsequent 19 games in all competitions, while the bigger picture shows Lionel Scaloni's side have picked up a total of 24 wins in their last 25 matches overall.

Within these last 25 matches, Argentina have managed to keep no fewer than 18 clean sheets which is an amazing defensive record indeed, and one that has not only contributed to past success but also stands La Albiceleste in good stead for this upcoming final.

Argentina secured wins against Canada 2-0, Chile 1-0 and Peru 2-0 to finish top of Group A with the maximum nine points and then followed up with a win on penalties against Ecuador in the quarter-finals before claiming another 2-0 win against Canada in the semi-finals.

Colombia produced one of the upsets in this Copa America tournament when they registered a 1-0 win against Uruguay in their recent semi-final clash at the Bank of America Stadium which will no doubt give Nestor Lorenzo's side plenty of confidence and belief ahead of this upcoming finale.

Colombia were also unbeaten during the group stage earlier in this competition as they collected valuable wins against Paraguay and Costa Rica along with perhaps their best result when they held Brazil to a 1-1 draw in the final game of the group.

Los Cafeteros then accounted for Panama in no uncertain fashion in the quarter-finals as Nestor Lorenzo's side produced a comprehensive 5-0 rout of The Canalmen to send them into the semi-finals.

The bigger picture will also give Colombia a decent chance of taking the spoils in this upcoming Copa America final as they are unbeaten in each of their last 28 matches in all competitions, collecting no fewer than 22 wins in the process.

Argentina v Colombia Verdict

Argentina have won the last two meetings against Colombia, one being a 1-0 win in a World Cup qualifier back in 2022 while the other was on penalties in the 2021 edition of the Copa America.

Both Argentina and Colombia have valid claims for the crown here, but Argentina may possess that extra edge in quality.
