Uruguay vs Colombia Prediction & Betting Tips - Copa America
by Sridhar in Copa America Predictions
Uruguay and Colombia meet in the semi-final of the Copa America with both nations looking to put an end to their respective droughts in this tournament. La Celeste haven’t been to a Copa final since 2011, and the Tricolor haven’t done so since 2001, so our prediction is for an entertaining match!
This match will be played at the Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina on Wednesday night (local time) or early Thursday morning, UK time. The winner of this semi-final will take on Argentina or Canada in the final. Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay were plucky in their penalty shootout quarter-final win over an underperforming Brazil side. Nestor Lorenzo’s Colombia have been the entertainers, smashing five goals against Panama in the previous round.
With a lot at stake and a chance to end their wait in the Copa America competition, both Uruguay and Colombia are likely to give it their all. Are we in for an entertaining clash? Let’s take a deeper look at the chances for both sides.

Uruguay - Colombia: Form Analysis
Uruguay are unbeaten in the tournament, winning their three group games and then drawing in regular time against Brazil. They defeated Panama 3-1, Bolivia 5-0, and then brushed past the United States by a solitary goal.
In the quarter-final against a Brazilian team that the bookmakers had as slight favourites, Uruguay showed their gritty side, holding out for more than 15 minutes with ten men. This was after Nahitan Nandez received a direct red card in the 74th minute.
La Celeste will look to repeat those heroics but will have to do so without two key defenders. They will still take confidence from the fact that the last three matches between these teams ended in draws.
Colombia are unbeaten in 27 games, winning 21 and drawing six.
Colombia are perhaps the most confident side, marching into the semis with a 5-0 thumping win over Panama. Three of those goals came before halftime, giving them a comfortable win in the end. The unbeaten run speaks for itself and many fans of Los Cafeteros will feel that this is the team's best chance to lift the Copa since their solitary triumph in 2001.
They are likely to go for glory and target scoring goals aplenty, as six of their last seven matches have produced at least three goals.

Uruguay & Colombia Squad Analysis
Nahitan Nandez received a straight red card in the win over Brazil and will be out of action for Uruguay in this match. La Celeste will also miss the services of key defender Ronaldo Araujo, who was taken off after 33 minutes due to a leg injury.
Uruguay’s hopes of making it to the final could rest on Maximiliano Araujo, who has two goals and one assist in this competition. Darwin Núñez, who plays for Liverpool in the English Premier League, hasn’t quite lived up to his expectations and has two goals to his name.
The Liverpool number nine kicked off the competition with goals in back-to-back matches but has since failed to deliver the goods in his two most recent appearances.
James Rodriguez has one goal and five assists, and he will look to continue his good form.
This will the Colombian captain's 105th national cap, moving ahead of Radamel Falcao (104) in the list of most-capped players for Colombia.
In contrast to their opponents, Colombia will be boosted by the return of Jefferson Lerma, who sat out the last game due to suspension.
Uruguay - Colombia Key Points
- Three of Uruguay’s last five matches produced at least four goals.
- Colombia’s last seven matches have all seen over 1.5 goals scored.
- Colombia have scored at least two goals in three of their four Copa America matches this year.
- The last match between Uruguay and Colombia played last October ended in a 2-2 draw.

Our Uruguay vs Colombia Prediction
Uruguay's defence was excellent in the match against Brazil, limiting them to just 0.58 expected goals and registering their third clean sheet in a row. Yet, with two key defenders out of this game, they would need a reshuffle at the back. That could pave the way for Colombia to take their chances. The Tricolor have a great chance to make it to the final, and there could be goals in the offing here. Our Uruguay vs Colombia prediction is for over 1.5 goals to be scored.
Uruguay vs Colombia - Other Interesting Predictions
Colombia to qualify
Colombia continued their dream form with a thumping win over Panama in the semi-final. That result made it 11 wins out of 12 matches, drawing the other. That included wins over Brazil and Spain, so the Tricolor will fancy their chances of getting over the line here. Back them to qualify.
James Rodriguez to score anytime
James Rodriguez has been in cracking form for Colombia in this tournament, landing five assists. To cap it off, he scored against Panama in the last match and also scored their first goal when Colombia last played Uruguay. Back him to score again here.
