Uruguay vs Colombia: Predictions and Betting Tips

Uruguay

Uruguay have won more Copa America Cups than any other team, lifting the trophy an incredible 15 times. There is no doubt that the Uruguans will do everything they can to secure another victory.

Uruguay finished second in Group A with two wins, one draw and one loss. They scored four goals and conceded two.

The Uruguayans are unbeaten in three straight matches against Colombia, winning two and drawing one.

Colombia 

The Colombians have only won one Copa America in their history, back in 2001, which is perhaps surprising for such a football-loving nation.

Colombia finished third in Group B, with one win, one draw and two defeats. They scored three goals and conceded four.

The Colombians are lacking confidence after some of their worst performances in recent years. On top of that, they must cope with the absence of their star player, James Rodriguez.

Key Stats

• Two wins, two draws and one defeat for Uruguay in their last five games
• Uruguay’s last five games have ended with under 2.5 total match goals
• One win, two draws and two losses for Colombia in their last five games
• Colombia have conceded two goals in three of their last five games

Uruguay vs Colombia Predictions

Uruguay started this Copa America with only mediocre performances, but in the last two games they have stepped up their intensity. In contrast, the Colombians have struggled the whole way through. Therefore, we believe that Uruguay will take the initiative and be able to seal victory.

Both teams have been struggling to net goals in their recent matches, and, in a knockout match where teams are typically less willing to take risks, we think it could be a low-scoring game.
