Colombia
Colombia finished the group stage on the top of the table, which is a pretty impressive achievement considering that they played in the same group as Argentina. Speaking of Argentina, Colombia run them over in the first round, with the final result being 2:0. This team also won the other two group games, against Qatar and Paraguay.
Colombia’s impressive performances aren’t surprising, knowing that this team has some really amazing players in the squad. They seem strong in literally every part of the pitch. At the back, they have two strong central-backs playing in the Premier League. Mina and Sanchez are powerful defenders, who don’t let anyone pass them easily. In the midfield, Colombia have James Rodrigues who’s apparently just signed a loan deal with Napoli.
And in the attack, they have a number of top-quality players. Their captain is Radamel Falcao, but their most lethal striker at this point seems to be Duvan Zapata, who was the second-top scorer in the Italian Serie A last season. With players like these, Colombia do seem capable of beating any opponent in South America. But, can Chile maybe stop them? You will have to read this Colombia vs Chile prediction until the end in order to find it out!
Chile
Chile is the team that won Copa America Centenario three years ago. And most of the players who won that tournament are still in this team. Unfortunately, they’re three years older and that means that most of them are in their thirties. And that did show in the duel with Uruguay, which they lost 1:0.
Playing against a physical team like Uruguay isn’t what Chile are too good at. Unfortunately, Colombia are really physical. That’s why Chile will have to use their wits and technique to outsmart the opponents. The good news is that they have some really skillful players on the team.
The last time they played, it was 0:0. It was a match of the World Cup 2018 qualification. But, in the meeting before that, they beat Colombia in the semi-final of Copa America Centenario. They’re surely hoping they can do the same this time as well. So, can they? Go to the Colombia vs Chile betting tips in order to find it out!

Colombia vs Chile Prediction
Even though Chile are the current trophy holders, they don’t seem as good as Colombia. This team is just too powerful for them, but this doesn’t mean Chile players won’t give their utmost this weekend. And that means that they could score at least once. Still, that probably won’t be enough to get them to the semi-final. Colombia definitely belong among the best four teams in Copa America.
