Colombia aims to kick off their 2024 Copa America campaign with a strong performance against Paraguay at NRG Stadium. Los Cafeteros have high hopes for the tournament in the USA, buoyed by an impressive eight-game winning streak in all competitions, which has filled fans with optimism ahead of their Group D opener. Key player to watch for Colombia is the swift Liverpool winger Luis Diaz, who scored in a 3-0 victory over Bolivia, though Matheus Uribe will be absent due to injury.
On the other side, La Albirroja seeks to build on their hard-earned 1-0 win over Panama. However, Colombia appears to be a more cohesive unit compared to Paraguay, and it’s anticipated that they will demonstrate their superiority on the field. The most notable players for Paraguay include Julio Enciso from Brighton and Miguel Almiron from Newcastle United, while Diego Gomez is sidelined with an injury.
Prediction: 2-1
