🧠 Prediction

For this match, we think that Colombia can and should have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

In contrast, Peru are also probably going to find it difficult to score although we do think that they will probably end up scoring here as well.

We can therefore see a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning score for Colombia when the full-time whistle blows.
