Colombia vs Panama Prediction & Betting tips
In the El Campin in Bogota, the South American neighborhood fight between Colombia and Panama is on Monday night. Both countries prepare through this friendly international match for the Copa America and Gold Cup respectively.
Colombia:
Colombia of course has a rich football history, but nevertheless has only one main prize in its prize cabinet: the Copa America of 2001. This summer the country hopes to match that performance. The Colombians are certainly confident. “I dreamed last night that Falcao was presented with the cup,” said Ivan Cordoba, captain of the winning team from 2001 earlier this week.
Since last year’s World Cup, in which Colombia was eliminated by England in the eighth finals after penalties, the country has had a new national coach. Jose Pekerman gave up and was succeeded by the Portuguese Carlos Quieroz, the former right hand of Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. However, little has changed since Falcao and James Rodriguez are still the big men on the side of Los Cafeteros. However, both have had a moderate season. James only had a supporting role with Bayern Munich, while Falcao almost even relegated from the French Ligue 1 with AS Monaco. The question is therefore whether they are capable of taking their country by the hand.
Panama:
The highlight of Panama’s football history came last year, when Los Canaleros qualified for the World Cup for the very first time. The Central Americans lost all their group matches, but that didn’t spoil the fun.
Now, however, the country has to build a new team, and that is not without problems. Since the World Cup, Panama was unable to win a single match, although the country recently managed to keep Brazil on a 1-1 draw. In addition, the team of national coach Julio Dely Valdes managed to win a scoreless draw against Spanish Basque Country last week. Panama has regained some confidence in the run-up to the Gold Cup, the CONCACAF country tournament that will be held in the United States later this month. However, the country does not have big names.
