Colombia have won seven consecutive matches in a row and remains one of the contenders for the Copa America 2024 title. They have players such as James Rodriguez and Luis Diaz who can win matches with their brilliance. They now face Paraguay in their opening match followed by matches against Costa Rica and Brazil. 

Paraguay have endured a tough time in the last few matches after failing to win any of their last five matches. Daniel Garnero’s side have also failed to score in these games.

Player to Watch

James Rodriguez (Colombia) 

James Rodriguez holds the second most caps for the Colombia national team after making 100 appearances. He has scored 27 goals in these matches playing a crucial role. He was once considered one of the best midfielders after his breakthrough in the World Cup in 2014 where he surprised everyone with his performance. He still possesses the qualities to turn the game on his own. 

Miguel Almiron (Paraguay) 

Miguel Almiron remains crucial for Paraguay in this Copa America 2024 competition as he brings experience to the side having played for Newcastle United in the Premier League. He has turned into a threat there after learning the craft of attacking defenders with his pace and skills. Almiron has appeared 55 times for the national team and scored seven goals in these matches.
