Uruguay vs Colombia Prediction: 11/7/2024

Expect fireworks when Uruguay and Colombia clash at Bank of America Stadium in the 2024 Copa America semi-finals. Uruguay, having overcome Brazil in a dramatic penalty shootout, now face another formidable opponent in Colombia on Thursday. Midfielder Nahitan Nandez is suspended for this match, while Barcelona defender Ronald Araujo is likely to miss out due to a muscle injury. Jose Gimenez is expected to take Araujo’s place in the lineup.

Colombia, meanwhile, breezed past Panama with a 5-0 victory, but defeating Marcelo Bielsa’s disciplined squad will be a tougher challenge. Given the high stakes, both teams are likely to play cautiously, making a bet on under 2.5 goals seem wise. James Rodriguez, who has already notched four assists and scored against Panama, will be the key player to watch for Colombia. Additionally, Jefferson Lerma returns from suspension, though Jhon Lucumi remains sidelined with an injury.

Prediction: 1-1.
