Los Cafeteros final friendly before facing Paraguay in Copa America.

Colombia and Bolivia are set to lock horns in an international friendly as both teams finalise their preparations for the upcoming Copa America.

Head coach Nestor Lorenzo led Colombia to a 5-1 victory over the United States, extending their winning streak to seven matches. La Tricolor have been in formidable form, unbeaten for over two years, and they are expected to be strong contenders in this summer’s tournament. They will be starting their Copa America campaign against Paraguay on June 24.

On the other hand, Bolivia under Antonio Carlos Zago will be looking to bounce back from a 3-1 defeat to Ecuador in their last outing. With just one win in their last 16 encounters against Colombia, La Verde face an uphill battle in this friendly. Their Copa America journey will begin against the United States on June 23, with subsequent group-stage matches against Uruguay and Panama.
