Colombia Preview

Colombia enter this international fixture looking to restore momentum after a mixed recent run of results, though Nestor Lorenzo’s squad remains one of South America’s most talented sides thanks to the combination of experienced leaders such as James Rodriguez and attacking stars including Luis Diaz, while home support in Bogota is expected to create a strong atmosphere ahead of the World Cup.

Costa Rica Preview

Costa Rica arrive hoping to frustrate a technically superior opponent through defensive discipline and structured counter-attacking football, with the Central American side continuing to rebuild around a mixture of experienced internationals and emerging younger players, though recent defensive inconsistency has raised concerns ahead of facing one of the continent’s strongest attacking teams.

Probable Lineups

Costa Rica (4-4-2)

We Say

Colombia should control possession and create the majority of attacking opportunities because their midfield quality and attacking depth are considerably stronger than Costa Rica’s, while home advantage in Bogota may further increase the pressure on the visitors, making a comfortable Colombian victory appear the most likely outcome.
