Uruguay, currently in fourth place with 16 points, is looking to avenge its previous loss against Colombia.

Despite this, sportsbooks have listed Uruguay as the favorite for this match[6].

Colombia, sitting in second place with 19 points, is riding high after a 4-0 win over Chile. James Rodriguez and his teammates aim to maintain their strong form, which includes a notable 2-1 victory over Argentina in the qualifiers. Colombia’s possible lineup includes Camilo Vargas in goal, a defense featuring Daniel Muñoz and Davinson Sanchez, and an attack led by Luis Diaz and Jhon Duran[4][6].

The match is expected to be intense, given the recent history between the two teams. Their last encounter in the semifinals of the 2024 Copa América ended in a 1-0 victory for Colombia, marked by a tense brawl between Uruguayan players and Colombian fans[6].
