Colombia vs Panama Betting Tips: COLOMBIA & OVER 2.5
Colombia breezed through the quarterfinals of the 2024 Copa America without breaking a sweat for the sixth consecutive occasion, as their seven wins out of a possible nine proved sufficient to topped Group B, ahead of six-time champions Brazil.
After demonstrating their supremacy in the first two group-stage matches by beating Paraguay 2-1 and Costa Rica 3-0, the Cofee Growers rallied from behind to snatch a 1-1 draw against Selecao, a result that meant they remain untamed under the command of the Argentine coach.
Indeed, the 58-year-old strategist Nestor Lorenzo has not just turned his side into an impregnable fortress but has also made them one of the hot favorites for lifting the Copa America trophy, steering them to na outstanding tally of 17 wins and six draws in his 23 games in charge.
Having reached the semis of this tournament in two of the last three editions—clinching bronze on both occasions—Colombia will fancy their chances of advancing to the final four, bolstered by putting seven goals without reply past Panama in the last two H2H encounters.
Panama may have missed out on progressing in the knockout stages during their 2016 debut, but this time they've impressed by collecting a surprising six out of nine points on offer, earning them second place in Group C and a historic berth in the Copa America quarterfinals.
Despite starting this summer's tournament with an expected loss to Uruguay (1-3), Los Canaleros responded with lightning speed, pulling off a comeback 2-1 victory against a 10-man United States, before sealing their last-eight spot with a routine 3-1 drubbing of Bolivia.
As a result, Panama continues to grow and develop under the baton of Thomas Christiansen, the Dane who guided them impressively to the CONCACAF Gold Cup final last year, where they were unfortunately dealt a solitary 0-1 loss by Mexico in California.
Los Canaleros are certainly not to be underestimated, especially with their prolific form, winning 12 of their 17 internationals, but we reckon Colombia have the edge to prevail in what appears to be a goal-rich affair. Given the Coffee Growers' attacking force, netting 3+ goals in four of their last five, we expect Lorenzo's to secure a spot in the Copa America semis with a commanding victory here.

Panama team news
Jose Fajardo Nelson, who scored in the final two group stage matches, was forced off the field in the 84th minute during the 3-1 victory over Bolivia, but he should be fit for this crucial match.
Coach Thomas Christiansen is almost certain to recall the identical starting eleven that secured two crucial victories leading to a historic advancement into the Copa America knockout stage.
