Predictions & Betting Tips

Colombia and Peru set for a close game

Colombia sit 6th in the FIFA World Cup Qualification – CONMEBOL 2023/2025 with 20 points from 14 matches, staying in the playoff hunt. However, a wobbly run of one win, one draw and three losses from their last five games has put their qualification hopes in doubt. This Colombia vs Peru preview highlights the importance of this fixture for both teams. Nestor Lorenzo has had the reins since June 2022 and he has brought with him a brand of football that allows his players the freedom to express themselves, transitioning smoothly from build-up to counter attacks and vice-versa. The 11 players on the field can all play their part in creating or scoring goals, while the Colombia vs Peru prediction is influenced by Luis Diaz leading the line and scoring six goals in his 14 appearances for his nation. Peru are all the way down in 9th place with just ten points from 14 matches, so they’re in desperate need of a win on Friday. Under the current circumstances, our Colombia vs Peru betting tips suggest that the match could be tighter than expected. Jorge Fossati is currently at the helm for Peru and he has instilled a disciplined, defensive style of play on his side, although they do have the quality to go forward when needed. Peru will set up a mid-block and try to frustrate their opponents with a tight, compact shape. Veteran goalkeeper Pedro Gallese will be a key figure on Friday as he tries to keep Colombia's attackers at bay.
