Peru vs Colombia Predictions
Both the Peruvians and the Columbians have had a poor start in their first four matches. Nevertheless, the Colombians appear to be a better team overall and we consider them the favourites for this match, even though they are the visitors.
These two teams have conceded some of the highest numbers of goals in the tournament so far which makes us think there will be plenty of opportunities with both teams looking to attack. Both teams may well score.
