The quarter-finals of Copa America have so far been interesting and surprising. From Canada eliminating Venezuela and going to the semi-finals in their maiden tournament, to Ecuador holding Argentina to a draw and only losing after penalties. Can Panama hand out another surprise or will Colombia continue their quest for a trophy? We will find out soon.
Colombia Team News
While not touted as big of a favourite as Brazil, Argentina, or Uruguay, Colombia is still considered a team with an outside chance of winning Copa America. There is good reason for that, as the team managed to hold Brazil to a draw in the group stage and has not lost a single game since 2022. This is quite a long time to keep any sort of streak, but Colombia has managed to do it. The Tricolour has also reached the semi-finals of 2 of their last 3 Copa America participations and has recently been scoring quite a lot – at least 3 goals in 5 of their last 8 fixtures.
Panama Team News
Panama will be the next team to try and stop Colombia’s impressive form and they will attempt that in their first-ever quarter-final at Copa America. While their start was not good in any way, the team managed to pick themselves up and record 2 wins over Bolivia and tournament hosts USA. This proved enough to secure second place in their group and make them one of 2 CONCACAF teams to reach this stage. And even if Panama has displayed resolute characteristics, their biggest test in Copa America is yet to come.
Head-to-Head-Games
There have been 4 games between these two teams with both having 2 wins to their name. Three of those games have featured over 2.5 goals. The most recent two were won by Colombia and on both occasions to nil. However, the most recent of all of those games was held in 2019.
Colombia – Panama Betting Prediction
I will pick over 2.5 goals for this game as this seems to be the norm when Colombia and Panama play one another. Moreover, Colombia has been on fire recently and has scored quite a bit of goals. Panama has also been able to score when asked to do so. With that being said, there are good circumstances to see lots of goals here and I expect this to come to fruition.
