Colombia vs Panama Prediction & Picks - Copa America
by Edgar Jibran | in Copa America Picks
One of the biggest surprises of the Copa America was unquestionably Panama's qualification for the quarterfinals in a group in which it looked extremely difficult for the "Canalero" team to stand out, but their victory over the United States facilitated their qualification. By taking that into consideration, it’s a fact that the Panamanian fans are completely pleased with the performance of their players at the preview of a complicated match against Colombia, which will take place next Saturday, July 6 at 04:00 pm Central Time.
On Colombia’s case, despite this match looks like a relatively simple one in comparison to their matches in the group stage, they cannot afford to be overconfident. Instead, the Colombian squad must show all their offensive capabilities in order to ratify that they’re one of the biggest contenders for the championship, a circumstance that hasn’t been frequent during the most recent years despite having had some really talented generations with a big base of players disputing extremely difficult matches with the greatest teams of Europe.

Colombia - Panama: Form Analysis
Analyzing the performance of both teams, it can be noted that Colombia has exponentially increased its level over the last year, managing to compete head-to-head with highly complicated opponents such as Spain, Germany and even Brazil. In this regard, it must be remembered that against the Brazilian squad they had multiple opportunities to win, therefore, it isn’t unusual that they’re strong candidates to defeat Panama according to bookmakers' odds.
Meanwhile, Panama's performance has been one of the most unexpected of the tournament, because even when they don’t have great stars in their lineup, they managed to resist the Uruguayan ambushes for almost the whole match, however in the last minutes of the game everything fell into place for their only defeat in the group stage (3-1). However, against the United States and Bolivia they showed great resilience to finally overcome both games scoring 2 or more goals per match.

Colombia & Panama Squad Analysis
The Colombian squad has many variants, and although they don’t have a large number of players among the best European clubs, the defensive organization and transitions to attack that the head coach, Nestor Lorenzo, has managed to build are extremely solid. In addition, having such a talented and experienced player like James Rodríguez, who has managed to build a fascinating partnership with Córdoba, Lerma and Díaz, is a huge advantage for this team, that has kept a ceaseless pressure no mattering the opponent.
For its part, Panama has proved that the consistency and trust that the Panamanian football federation put in the head coach’s project was the best decision as they’ve begun to pay dividends during this tournament, where the Panamanian team hasn’t been intimidated by any opponent, regardless of their hierarchy. Additionally, players like Fajardo, Blackman, Barcenas and Martinez have been key to the success of this team, which along with Canada, are the only CONCACAF representatives in the quarterfinals.
Colombia - Panama Key Points
