Colombia vs Qatar Prediction & Betting tips
Colombia beats Argentina 2-0 and puts a big exclamation point to the group opening in the Copa America! The “Los Cafeteros” did not hide in the duel against the Argentines and were rewarded with three points after their superior performance. In addition to hosting Brazil and Uruguay, Colombia is among the favorites for the title coup at Copa America 2019. In the second group match, the Colombians will now meet the visiting team from Qatar. For the coming hosts of the World Cup, there was still a comeback draw against Paraguay after 0: 2 backlog. Will Qatar surprise again or will Colombia show the guests the limits?
Despite the surprisingly strong performance of the visiting team at the Copa America, we find a Colombia vs. Qatar forecast on the guests rather unrealistic, especially since the Weinroten have benefited mainly from the defensive vulnerability of Paraguay. If the “Los Cafeteros” should even close to the performance against Argentina, a win against Qatar should be pure routine. On Wednesday evening, the duel between Colombia and Qatar at 22:30 (CET) in the Estadio do Morumbi in Sao Paulo.
Colombia:
The Colombians want to make a splash at Copa America and have already taken the first step. In the showdown against Argentina, “Los Cafeteros” proved impressively why they are among the narrow circle of Copa favorites. The last title in the South American competition is 18 years ago. At the Copa America 2001 hosted in their own country, the Colombians celebrated their only title success so far. In the last edition of the Copa, the team went to the superstars James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao even the third place, after the semi-final against Chile was unfortunately lost 0-2.
The Colombian selection has improved significantly in recent years and has proved this at the recent World Championships. After the quarter-finals against host World Cup Brazil 2014, there was only at the last World Cup 2018 in Russia only a very close exit against the “Three Lions” from England. After the successful preparation for the Copa America 2019, the “Los Cafeteros” want to conquer the South American throne for the first time since 2001.
In contrast to Argentina, where the offensive game is largely focused on Lionel Messi, Colombia benefits from a strong collective that coach Queiroz has at his disposal. His two substitutes in the game against Argentina even scored the winning goal, so the start-up decisions in the game against Qatar remains to be seen. Zapata, who showed strong performances on the club level, let Falcao take the lead in the group’s opening event but could now face Qatar from the start. Coach Carlos Queiroz, who has been in office since the beginning of February, has only recorded victories so far. Will it also be on Wednesday evening or will this time a Colombia against Qatar forecast on the Queiroz team not true?
Qatar:
At the World Cup 2022 Qatar is hosted and wants to prove on home territory. So far, the ideas of the Weinroten were not very good in recent years. In any case, participation as the host of the 2022 World Cup will be the very first of the Qatari national team at a World Cup. Recently, the Qatari reds celebrated the biggest success in the club’s history. At the 17th edition of the Asian Cup, Qatar chose for the first time champion.
As a guest team, Qatar was invited to the Copa America 2019. Already in the first group match, the Qatari selection seemed to sink, but could still secure the draw after the 0: 2 deficit with two sizable goals. In the match against Paraguay, there were offensively good approaches, which is why the Weinroten also optimistically go into the second group match against Colombia. At the dress rehearsal before the Copa America, the Qatari selection against Copa host Brazil could keep up well, but in the end but expected to lose the test match.
In the current squad of Qatar no legionary can be found. All players play in the domestic league. Hassan Al-Haydos is in the squad with 121 appearances in the current squad of the record and also has the most goals on the account. Big changes in the squad of Qatar are not to be expected against Colombia. In any case, coach Felix Sanchez made despite a 0-2 deficit against Paraguay until the end of the game a substitution. Surprising the Weinroten also in the second group game, Colombia can be lucrative quota against Qatar.
