Tricolours can seal semi-final spot
The Colombians were magnificent in the mini-league stage, topping Group D with seven points ahead of one of the pre-tournament favourites in Brazil, and they can continue to impress at the Copa America with victory over the Panamanians.
The Tricolours have already won twice so far in this tournament, with victories over Paraguay and Costa Rica, while they arguably should have taken all three points against the Brazilians on matchday three as they finished with an expected goals rating of 1.31 compared with the Seleção Canarinho’s 0.22.
Panama started their campaign poorly with a 3-1 defeat to Uruguay before claiming a crucial 2-1 victory over the hosts USA.
A 3-1 win against Bolivia secured their spot in the knockout stages of the Copa America for the first time. But could struggle against Colombia, having lost both their previous two meetings with the South American outfit.
La Marea Roja have netted in each of their three games so far in this tournament and so could pose a threat. But with seven goals conceded across their past pair of encounters with La Tricolor, they may not be able to keep out their opponents and avoid defeat.

Fajardo could give La Marea Roja a chance
Panama are yet to keep a clean sheet at the Copa America – and their last shutout was in a World Cup qualifier against Guyana in June – but they do have a number of quality attacking options that could keep them in this tie.
Cesar Blackman, Eduardo Guerrero and Cesar Yanis have all found the back of the net for Thomas Christiansen’s side in this tournament, as has defender Michael Murillo, while midfielder Yoel Barcenas has tried his luck on five separate occasions – although he is yet to hit the target.
But the most potent threat for the Panamanians will be Universidad Catolica striker Jose Fajardo.
The 28-year-old tops the scoring charts for the Red Tide at the Copa America with two goals and he currently ranks 10th in the all-time list with 13 for his country.

Munoz to be heavily involved in Glendale
Colombia and Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz has had an eventful tournament so far in the United States, with the 28-year-old leading the way in terms of goals with two so far for the Tricolours, and he looks a strong bet to try his luck again this weekend.
Munoz could also be an option in the cards market, despite avoiding any bookings so far. The defender has committed 11 fouls so far at the Copa America, averaging over three offences per 90 minutes, and he could fall foul of the referee should he continue with mistimed tackles.
Our bet builder is completed in the corners market, and set pieces could be key in deciding the result of this encounter.
Games involving Colombia at this tournament have averaged over 7.5 corners a game, while Panama’s matches are averaging six, so over 5.5 looks a worthy addition.
