Colombia Preview – Can Colombia win back-to-back?
An opening 1-0 win over Ecuador in Group B handed Colombia with the perfect start to their Copa America campaign and they’ll be looking for more of the same when they take on Venezuela on Thursday afternoon.
Recent results have been encouraging for Colombia who have lost just two of their last nine matches in all competitions while also picking up important wins against Peru and this afternoon’s opponents, Venezuela (3-0) in World Cup qualifiers.
In the Copa America, Colombia have won five of their last six games which have also seen Colombia keeping clean sheets in each of these five victories, while also being unbeaten in each of the last five meetings against Venezuela.
Venezuela Preview – Can Venezuela produce a reaction?
An opening heavy 3-0 loss against Copa America hosts, Brazil, gave Venezuela the worst start possible to their Copa America campaign and things aren’t about to get any easier with this upcoming clash against Colombia.
Venezuela have managed to pick up just one win from their last seven matches overall in all competitions which came in the form of a 2-1 home win against Chile in a World Cup qualifier, but five defeats within this sequence suggests Venezuela could struggle against Colombia on Thursday.
In addition, Venezuela have failed to score in five of these last seven matches as well.
