The match between Colombia and Argentina, corresponding to matchday 8 of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, will be played on Tuesday, September 10, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. (COL time) in Barranquilla.
Below we leave you with the five possible predictions for this match:
With their football and results as their strengths, Argentina is the slight favourite to take the win against Colombia. Despite the great level shown by Lorenzo’s team, the mental, physical and footballing level of Lionel Scaloni’s players puts the leader of the Qualifiers ahead to take the three points.
The recent history between these teams has shown disputed matches with few goals but many emotions.
Although Colombia could have more possession and wait for a mistake or press to create one and have their chance, their ability to generate danger would force Dibu Martínez, as he already did in the final of the Copa América 2024 or even in that mythical semifinal of the same competition played in Brazil 2021.
In such a competitive and high-stakes match, VAR could play an important role. Any controversial decision, such as a possible penalty or an offside decision, could influence the final result. Teams will have to be prepared for any technological intervention that could change the course of the match.
If the match remains tied towards the end, both teams could increase the intensity in search of a goal that will decide the match, given the obligation of Colombia to keep the three points at home and the hierarchy of Argentina to score a goal under any circumstances of the game.
