Before Betting On Colombia vs Panama
The road to the Copa America final is now clear for the remaining eight teams, with all nations just three victories from South American glory. Colombia has emerged as a leading contender to win the tournament this year, after topping Group D ahead of Brazil. The nation was excellent across their three group stage matches, and they showed excellent character to earn a 1-1 draw against Brazil on matchday three in the group to secure the top spot.
Colombia have been among the best attacking teams in the competition to this point, netting six goals across their three group stage matches. Daniel Munoz is enjoying an excellent tournament in the U.S., with the striker having netted twice in the three group stage matches in the opening round.
Panama have already achieved what they would have expected to accomplish at the Copa America this summer, as they finished second in the Group C standings to eliminate the United States. Despite defeat on matchday one against Uruguay, the nation returned to form with wins over the U.S. and Bolivia to finish second in the standings.
There will still be questions to answer from a defensive regard ahead of this tie against Colombia, as Panama conceded five goals in their three group stage matches. They have also kept just one clean sheet in their last nine international matches.

Panama have done extremely well to reach this stage of the competition, but we struggle to see their adventure continuing past this weekend. Colombia should have more than enough quality to secure a comfortable win and set up a semi-final showdown next week.
