Colombia vs Peru Prediction & Tips
The penultimate act of the 2021 America’s Cup is the third-fourth place final scheduled at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia between Peru and Colombia. It will be the 68th confrontation between the major representatives of these two countries that in this edition of the tournament have already faced each other in the group stage last June 20 with Peru who won 2-1 with the goal of Sergio Peña who plays in the Netherlands. in the Emmen and the own goal by Yerry Mina, a militant instead in England against Everton, interspersed with the momentary Colombian equalizer signed on a penalty kick by Miguel Borja, who instead plays in the top league of his country in the Junior.
That victory for Blanquirroja interrupted a fast of success that had lasted for 10 years (7 Colombian victories and 3 draws) and despite that result in favor of the selection coached by the Argentine coach Ricardo Gareca, the prediction on the eve of the “finalina” smiles on the eleven Cafeteros led by Reinaldo Rueda. In the semifinals, Peru surrendered to the hosts of Brazil 1-0 failing to balance the fate of the match after the goal signed in the 35th minute by the former Milan player Paqueta, the Peruvians will have the advantage of one more day rest since they took the field on Monday. Colombia, on the other hand, held up against Argentina for 90 minutes, equalizing the initial disadvantage with a goal in the 61st minute by Luis Diaz of the port but paid duty to Messi and his companions in the lottery of penalties when in three, Davinson Sanchez, the aforementioned Yerry Mina and Edwin Cardona, were wrong. Regret at Colombia for a post and crossbar hit during the game.
Taking a look at the performance of the two teams in this tournament, Peru has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses with 8 goals to their credit and 11 conceded. It is a “subscriber” team in third place in the America’s Cup as it has placed bronze around its neck on 8 occasions, double compared to Colombia which, on the other hand, in this edition of the South American championship for nations has won only one success against 3 draws and 2 defeats. Juan Cuadrado and his teammates struggled to find the way to the goal, with just 4 goals, but they were good at defending themselves, conceding just 5 goals. There are possible absentees in both teams because Peru may have to give up Garces, Alexis Arias and Yotun, while Colombia has in Barrios and Miguel Borja the two who are in strong doubt. Certainly absent Uribe who is injured, while there will be the recovery of the winger André Carrillo who had missed the semifinal through disqualification.
Going back again to take a look at the previous ones, it was said of the 67 head-to-head played from 1938 to last June 20 with a budget that smiles more to Colombia thanks to 26 wins against 22 draws and 19 defeats. And before the 2-1 win in the group stage, Peru had lost their previous three games against Colombia without being able to score a single goal.
Peru has managed to score in 4 out of 6 games in this edition of the America’s Cup, failing to find the goal only in the two matches (the first and the last) played against Brazil.
In 3 of the last 4 games played by Colombia both teams have scored.
The two teams have already met on June 20 and on that occasion they won Peru 2-1.
The third-fourth place final is not of great value and is often played by teams with a little less tacticism and giving something more.
Peru is at a disadvantage according to the odds of the bookmakers but has had an extra day of rest and recovers an important element like André Carrillo.
Predicting a game that for many players can often count for little is never easy. The disappointment after a defeat in the semifinals can be great, but it becomes a liberation from the point of view of the game. We take a few more risks attracted by the excellent share and aim for the Goal for the second consecutive head-to-head after the 2-1 in the group stage.
