Colombia vs Venezuela Match preview

Colombia comes into this game on the back of a victory in their first game of the competition against Ecuador, courtesy of a goal from Edwin Cardona who netted the only goal of the game in the 42nd minute. A victory in this game would help them get to a better position to qualify for the next round. Juan Cuadrado looks to be in great form for the Colombians and he will be hoping to continue his exploits against Ecuador, on Thursday. Miguel Borja set up the goal in the game against Ecuador and his attacking ability will be a great use against the weakened Venezuelan side.

Venezuela has been in horrendous form over the past few games. The South American side has only managed to win 1 out of their previous 5 games and look to be in furthermore trouble due to injuries and the outbreak of Covid in the team. The Venezuelans lost 3-0 to Brazil in the opening fixture and will need a positive result against the Colombians to keep their hopes of staying in the competition alive.
