Copa America: Colombia vs. Costa Rica Preview

Colombia
Colombia seeks to build on their 2-1 victory over Paraguay as they face Costa Rica at State Farm Stadium in their second group match. In their Copa America opener, veteran midfielder James Rodriguez provided two crucial assists. A key player to watch in the Colombian lineup is Liverpool’s speedy winger Luis Diaz. However, there are concerns as both Jhon Lucumi and Jefferson Lerma are doubtful after sustaining injuries in the win against Paraguay.

Costa Rica
Costa Rica impressed by holding a star-studded Brazil to a goalless draw at SoFi Stadium. Despite this strong defensive performance, Colombia’s numerous scoring opportunities in their first match suggest they might have the edge. Costa Rica enters the game without any new injury concerns, although both Calvo and Ugalde are one yellow card away from suspension.

Prediction
Considering Colombia’s attacking prowess and the recent form of both teams, we predict a 2-0 victory for Colombia.
