Colombia VS Peru

Colombia will be determined to respond after suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat to Paraguay in their previous international friendly. Their recent matches have generally been low-scoring affairs, with fewer than three goals recorded in each of their last six games. During that run, Colombia scored just three goals while conceding only two, highlighting a strong defensive structure but also revealing some limitations in attack. They will need to become more effective in the final third if they are to turn their territorial control into goals against Peru. Peru also arrive seeking a positive response after losing 2-0 to Canada, with Jacob Shaffelburg scoring both goals in the first half. Despite the setback, Peru have shown reasonable attacking potential, finding the net seven times across their last six matches. Their defensive record has been less convincing, however, as they conceded in all six of those games. That combination of attacking promise and defensive vulnerability could make the match more competitive, particularly if Peru can exploit Colombia’s recent struggles in front of goal while maintaining greater discipline at the back.
