Colombia will look to set the record straight after their 3-2 loss to Uruguay, which was a gut-punch, dropping them into third place in the table and raising questions about their defensive vulnerabilities. Coach Nestor Lorenzo will demand a response, and the home crowd will expect nothing less.
Luis Díaz and James Rodríguez must step up to spark the attack, while the defense will need to tighten up against a red-hot Ecuadorian side. With qualification at stake, Colombia can’t afford another slip.
Meanwhile, Ecuador is flying high. Their 4-0 dismantling of Bolivia showcased their firepower and defensive solidity, making it four games without a loss. They’re sitting comfortably in the mix, but a win against Colombia could elevate them further in the standings and send a message to the rest of the competition.
Moisés Caicedo and Enner Valencia are driving the team’s success, combining creativity and precision to dismantle defenses. Against a wounded Colombia, they’ll be looking to exploit any weaknesses and extend their streak.
