Colombia Aims for Victory Against Canada in Friendly Match

HARRISON, New Jersey – Colombia faces Canada in an international friendly at Red Bull Arena on Tuesday, October 14, 2025. The match is a crucial warm-up for both teams ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Canada enters the game after a disappointing 1-0 loss to Australia, while Colombia is riding a wave of confidence following a successful World Cup qualifying campaign, finishing third in South America, ahead of teams like Uruguay and Brazil.
Chris Vasile, a betting analyst, predicts Colombia will come out on top. He noted that Colombia boasts a potent attack, having scored 28 goals in their last 18 matches, ranking second only to Argentina. Vasile sees Colombia’s moneyline at -115 as solid value, given Canada’s recent struggles and multiple player injuries.
Key losses for Canada include Moise Bombito, Alphonso Davies, Alistair Johnston, and Sam Adekugbe, which further weakens their squad against a strong Colombian side.
Weather conditions for the match are forecasted at 68°F with increasing winds of 10 mph and a 20% chance of rain, making for a pleasant evening of soccer.
Fans can expect a competitive match, with Vasile predicting a score of 3-1 in favor of Colombia, highlighting their offensive strength and Canada’s defensive challenges. Brazil, Argentina, and now Colombia present a significant leap in competition for the Canadians.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. ET. Colombia’s squad currently reports no injuries, while Canada hopes for a recovery from their recent setbacks.
