Colombia are in very good form, having not lost a match in the last 2 years. They have won all 8 of their most recent matches. In the 4 matches played in 2024, Colombia have not been behind for a single minute. They have scored first in all 6 matches and won the match.
Even when they were behind, Colombia have come back to win each of their last three games. Under coach Nestor Lorenzo, they are almost unbeatable. But Colombian fans have seen a similar story. The team lost just one of 33 matches leading up to the 1994 World Cup, but when they entered the tournament they were eliminated in the group stage.
So it is important that Colombia maintain their form going into the Copa America.
Paraguay, for their part, have won just one of their last five games. In the four games without a win, they have failed to score. In their previous Copa America appearance in the United States in 2016, Paraguay were eliminated in the group stage, winning nothing and scoring just one goal.
Coach Daniel Garnero and his team will face many difficulties when falling into a difficult group, including Colombia and Brazil. The inferiority in squad quality and strength makes them not rated as highly as other opponents in group D.
Head to head record
Paraguay have failed to win in their last four meetings with Colombia and have not won a Copa America match against them since 2007 (a 5-0 win).
Expected lineup
Colombia: Ospina; S. Arias, Mina, Cuesta, Machado; Uribe, Lerma; J. Arias, Rodriguez, Diaz; Cordoba
Paraguay: Coronel; Velazquez, Balbuena, Gomez, Alonso; Villasanti, Cubas, Almiron; Sosa, Bareiro, Enciso
The match between Colombia and Paraguay takes place at 05:00 on June 25 (Vietnam time).
