ARGENTINA v COLOMBIA BETTING PREVIEW
Argentina recorded a 2-2 draw against Paraguay on their tournament opening match but then bounced back beating both Uruguay and Jamaica 1-0 to top Group B. Gerardo Martino's side have kept two clean sheets in the last two outings but scored just four goals so far, despite boasting arguably the tournament's finest forward line.
Head coach Gerardo Martino has his strongest XI available to him as Argentina escaped the group stage with no injuries and suspensions. Biglia and Banega are in contention for a start in midfield while Aguero will be restored up-front with Messi and Di Maria. At the heart of defense, Otamendi or Demichelis will partner Garay.
Colombia have been far from convincing and finished third in Group C, scoring only one goal in three matches. They lost against Venezuela and drew against Peru. Their only good performance has been their 1-0 win over Brazil on matchday two.
Los Cafeteros will be without Carlos Sánchez after the Aston Villa midfielder picked up his second booking last time out. Edwin Cardona and Alexander Mejía are likely to start in midfield. Radamel Falcao is struggling badly for form but he will retain his spot. Bacca is still suspended and Gutierrez and Jackson Martinez are in contention to replace him.
La Albiceleste have won 7 and drawn 3 of 12 previous matches against Colombia. The previous meeting between these teams ended in a 0-0 draw in World Cup qualifying in June 2013. Prior to that Argentina defeated Colombia 2-1 away from home, also in World Cup qualifying.
