Tip and bets
After a change of head coach Colombia national team started to play better - The Coffee Growers had a great match against Peru and then managed to mount a two-goal comeback against Argentina, putting up a great performance. Colombians will try to have revenge for the defeat at Quito and they have many chances for a success - Ecuador was not looking great on the most recent matches.
Our prediction - Colombia to win
This match will not be the same as the one that happened six months ago, when teams scored seven goals combined. Colombia is playing better now, especially on defense. This match is very important for both teams, so they are unlikely to open up since the first minutes. In this case, we can't expect many goals in this game.
Our second bet will be on total under 2.5 goals
