It would be challenging to say that the group stage at the Copa America was anything other than a major success for Nestor Lorenzo and his Colombian side.
They won two of their three matches to top Group D and ended the opening round with a hard-fought draw in California against Brazil to finish above their rivals.
Colombia will now be hoping to continue that excellent sequence when they come up against Panama in the quarterfinals. Their attacking threat has been evident within this side throughout the competition so far after netting six times in three group stage matches.
Daniel Muñoz has been the standout player for Colombia, netting his second goal of the tournament in their 1-1 draw against Brazil on matchday three in Group D.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | D-W-W-W-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Daniel Muñoz, Luis Diaz, James Rodriguez |
| Team Strengths | Strong attacking talent from the wide areas. |
| Team Weaknesses | Midfield can often be ill-disciplined. |
Panama have already achieved their best ever showing at the Copa America this summer after making it out of the group stage, and they will be massive outsiders when making a Colombia vs Panama prediction to progress through to the semi-final stage on Saturday.
The national side defied expectations to finish second in Group C, but huge positives could be taken from their two wins over the United States and Bolivia.
However, this fixture represents a step back up in class following their win against Bolivia on matchday three. Panama have already come up short against proven South American quality in the tournament this year after being blown away by Uruguay at the end of June, but their attacking record could see them ask questions of Colombia.
However, they will need massive improvement defensively after allowing five goals in three group-stage matches.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | W-W-L-L-W |
| Key Players to Watch | José Fajardo, Cesar Blackman, Édgar Bárcenas |
| Team Strengths | Fluent in the final third of the field. |
| Team Weaknesses | Defensive questions after keeping one clean sheet in nine internationals. |
The head-to-head record makes for important reading before making a Colombia vs Panama prediction. Colombia have won ten of their 14 internationals against Panama, which includes 3-0 and 4-0 wins in the last two. Panama’s last win over Colombia came in the Gold Cup in July 2005.
Colombia’s attacking players haven’t really found their shooting boots so far at the Copa America this summer, but fortunately, Daniel Muñoz has proven to be a potent weapon from wing-back.
The Crystal Palace defender has already netted twice in three matches this summer, and he has flourished from the right when James Rodriguez has dropped deeper into the middle of the park when the team has possession.
Panama are a team that aren’t great in their defensive structure, meaning Muñoz could be an excellent out-ball once again for Colombia in this fixture on Saturday. Therefore, we could see him having a direct impact in terms of a goal or an assist for his national side this weekend.
Colombia have been strong in possession of the ball throughout their matches at the Copa America so far this summer, and they will likely dominate once again in this quarterfinal showdown against Panama.
Flair players such as James Rodriguez and Luis Diaz are yet to hit their groove in the tournament to this point, but they keep the ball exceptionally well, with runners in behind easily found.
Panama’s defensive record doesn’t offer much confidence this weekend, as they have managed just one clean sheet in their last nine internationals. Forward runs from deep positions will leave them vulnerable, and they are a nation that gives up a lot of chances, which was evident after allowing Bolivia to have seven shots on goal in their final group match.
Colombia have looked like a well-drilled machine to this point, and they shouldn’t encounter many issues against a Panama side that they have scored seven unanswered goals against in their last two meetings.
Once again, Colombia’s runners from deep look set to create the biggest issues for the opposing defense, but unlike Brazil, the Central American side doesn’t look to have the players to fire much back in the way of a response. Therefore, we expect a comfortable win for the favoured side when making a Copa America prediction for this encounter.
This weekend could present a perfect opportunity for Luis Diaz to open his account for the tournament from open play.
The Liverpool forward will likely get chances against a defensively weak Panama side, and he comes into the weekend after netting an impressive 13 goals in 52 internationals for his country.
