Colombia vs Panama Prediction: 6/7/2024

A spot in the 2024 Copa America semi-finals will be contested when Colombia faces Panama at State Farm Stadium on Saturday evening. Los Cafeteros impressed during the group stages, securing victories against Paraguay and Costa Rica and drawing with Brazil. Consequently, they are the favorites to win this quarter-final matchup. However, experienced midfielder Jefferson Lerma is suspended for the game, likely giving Jorge Carrascal an opportunity to fill the gap.

On the other side, Panama performed admirably in Group C, securing wins over the USA and Bolivia, although they fell to Uruguay. Despite exceeding expectations in the tournament, Panama faces a tough challenge against Colombia, which boasts a roster full of top-class talent. Thomas Christiansen’s squad has no new injury concerns, though Adalberto Carrasquilla remains out due to suspension.

Prediction: 3-1 victory for Colombia.
