The Colombian team, led by the Argentine strategist Nestor Lorenzo, comes into this matchup with high expectations after their recent victory against the United States, where they made their offensive potential clear with a 5-1 win. However, Lorenzo has remained cautious about expectations of favoritism, highlighting teams such as Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay as the main contenders for the continental title.
As for the probable lineup for this match, Colombia is expected to take the field with Álvaro Montero in goal, Santiago Arias, Carlos Cuesta, Davinson Sánchez and Deiver Machado in defense, Kevin Castaño and Richard Ríos in midfield, and a offensive line made up of Luis Sinisterra, Juan Fernando Quintero, Yaser Asprilla and Jhon Córdoba.
For its part, Bolivia comes to the game with a new cycle under the direction of Brazilian coach Antonio Zago, who has expressed his desire to see significant improvements in the physical performance of his team. With a recent friendly in which they lost to Ecuador, Zago recognizes the need to work on several aspects to face both the Copa América and the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
As for Bolivia’s possible lineup, they are expected to take the field with Carlos Lampe in goal, Diego Medina, José Sagredo, Adrián Jusino and Marcelo Suárez in defense, Leonel Justiniano and Ramiro Vaca in midfield, and a forward formed by Fernando Saucedo, Miguel Terceros, Carmelo Algarañaz and Bruno Miranda.
