⚽ Football Copa América 2024 Match Preview
⏰ 6 July 2024 - 23:00 GMT +1
🏟 Stadium: State Farm Stadium (Glendale, AZ)
Colombia's impressive form continued with a 1-1 draw against Brazil, extending their unbeaten streak to 26 matches (W20, D6) since February 2022. This result secured their top spot in Copa América's group D and solidified their status as serious contenders for the title.
The Tricolour aim to maintain their strong Copa América record, having reached the semi-finals in two of the last three editions. Their potent offense, scoring 3+ goals in four of their last six matches, will be crucial in their quest to repeat their 2001 trophy win.
Panama, in just their second Copa América appearance, have reached their first quarter-final. After an initial 3-1 loss to Uruguay, they bounced back with victories over the USA (2-1) and Bolivia (3-1), joining Canada as one of two CONCACAF teams in the knockout stages.
Under Danish manager Thomas Christiansen, Panama has seen remarkable improvement since 2020, climbing almost 40 places in the FIFA rankings and reaching the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup final. Their recent form of ten wins in 15 matches (D1, L4) suggests they could potentially upset Colombia in Arizona.
