Stadium: Arena Pantanal (Chuiba)
Copa America 2021- Group B
Colombia (Position N.0-I.0-H.0 Term.0-0)
He is considered one of the favorites to be in the semifinals of the tournament and then in the final. Colombia had initially taken over the event, but due to internal problems (political issues) was moved to Argentina and then, due to a coronavirus in Brazil. Certainly as a country they will aim as high as possible. In the matches for the qualifiers of the upcoming World Cup, he got four (4) points, a comfortable victory over Peru with 0-3 and a lad 2-2 inside with Argentina (from 0-2 it became 2-2 with a goal in 94`) . The absences of Rodriguez J. (M.) and Falcao R. (E.) are certainly significant, but Zapata D. (E.), Muriel L. (E.) Borja M. (E.), Uribe M. (M.), Cuadrado J. (A.) and Ospina D. (T.).
Ecuador (Position 0th N.0-I.0-H.0 Term.0-0)
It started strong in the qualifiers with 3/3. But in the last two (2) matches he suffered an equal number of defeats, 2-0 except for Brazil, a normal defeat and 1-2 inside Peru, a big surprise. In general, the group aims to qualify for the next phase and if it manages to go as far as possible. It is a team that relies heavily on its home and outside of it, as all matches will be played in Brazil, it is usually difficult. The players that stand out are Valencia E. (E.), Mena A. (E.), Noboa C, (M.), Diaz D. (M.), Martinez F. (M.) and Preciado A. ( E.). As you will see almost all players over the age of thirty-one (31).
Colombia may have talent, but it is difficult to score. Ecuador is not doing well, it is an old team and it takes strength and patience. I think the match will be quite close and at some point, the quality of the Colombians will speak. Ace & Under3.5.
