Colombia and Paraguay kick their Copa America campaigns off on Monday evening. The pair will lock horns at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, where both will be looking to make positive starts ahead of what is a difficult-looking group, a group that contains titans Brazil. The Colombians in particular will be feeling confident ahead of this opening fixture in Group D, with them winning each of their last eight games. Can they make it nine wins on the bounce?

Colombia - Paraguay: Form Analysis

Few teams in world soccer are in better form than the Colombians right now. Fans of the USMNT saw just how good this Colombian side can be recently, and it's absolutely fair to say that nobody has been a match for the men in yellow in the last six to eigtht months. Nestor Lorenzo's men have won eight games on the bounce, and it's not as if they've only faced poor teams during that time either, beating the likes of Brazil, Mexico and Spain. The 2001 winners of this competition mean business, that's for sure. 

As for Paraguay, well, they look a lot less threatening. Yes, they warmed up for this tournament with a timely win over Panama, but such a victory doesn't earn the biggest round of applauds, let's face it. Prior to that, the team coached by Daniel Garnero were without a win in four, while they were also without a goal in four. Scoring goals has been a real problem for this team, which does not bode well ahead of their foray into US territory for this tournament.

Colombia & Paraguay Squad Analysis

The Colombians have a very strong squad, nobody can deny that. Pace, power, trickery, you name it, they've got it. This is also a team that has no problems of playing rough and battling hard, so it really is fair to say that they're something of the complete package this time around. They've got experience and youthfulness, plus lots of player playing the game at a high level domestically. Moreover, in James Rodriguez, they've got a talismanic captain, one who loves to perform on the biggest stage at major tournaments. The also have lots of difference makers, players who can create something from nothing, such as Luiz Diaz and Juan Quintero. 

The Paraguayans have a much less established squad in terms of top-level players, though they are not without quality in their squad. Brighton's Julio Enciso brings Premier League experience, as does Miguel Almiron, who as MLS fans will know, is a fantastic player. Garnero also has lots of experience to call upon, so if nothing else, this is a not a team that will overawed and easily beaten.

Our Colombia vs Paraguay Prediction

In all honesty, all signs point towards a Colombian win here. We know that the Paraguayans dig deep and make life tough for teams, and they're rarely heavily beaten, but they struggle to score goals, which is why they rarely get their noses in front. Against a Colombia side that is very strong offensively, with lots of creative players in their midst, this lack of forward power could prove costly. They can hang on in there in games, but when push comes to shove, they just don't have enough about them to get a result off a team that has simply been in scintilating form, so betting on a Colombia win without things getting too out of hand is the way to go. Our Prediction: Colombia to Win & Under 3.5 Goals.

Colombia vs Paraguay - Other Interesting Picks

James Rodriguez 1+ Shot on Target

Odds -110
As a secondary option, betting on Colombia's captain James Rodriguez to register a shot on target stands out, especially at early Draftkings odds, which look a little generous. We all know how dangerous James can be, especially at big tournaments, just ask goalkeepers from the 2014 World Cup, while he's no stranger to shooting, even from distance. When his team last met Colombia, he took two shots and hit the target once. I'm betting on him to repeat that trick here.
