Argentina strives for consecutive wins over Colombia as they clash in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday.
Lautaro Martinez’s extra time volley was the difference in Argentina’s 1-0 Copa America final victory over Colombia in their last meeting.
Furthermore, Colombia has not defeated Argentina since a 2-0 victory in 2019. A win for Argentina in this tie will mark a four-match winning streak.
Moving on, Colombia resumes their World cup qualifiers with a 1-1 draw against Peru, thanks to an equalizer from Luis Diaz in the 82nd minute. However, they have an unblemished home record in the qualifiers with seven points from three matches.
Meanwhile, Argentina is coming off a 3-0 victory over Chile, with goals from Mac Allister, Julian Alvarez and Paulo Dybala to secure a sensational return to the World cup qualifying series following their Copa America triumph.
Their formidable away record will be tested against an undefeated Colombia team at Estadio Metropolitano.
Julian Alvarez is anticipated to lead La Albiceleste attack after a stunning performance with a goal contribution in his last match while Colombia will look to Luis Diaz to provide the much-needed spark in attack after an outstanding performance in his last outing.
Colombia vs Argentina Predictions
Given both teams impressive form in the World Cup qualifiers, we expect a thrilling clash. However, we are tipping the World Champions to a narrow victory due to their previous success and immense quality over Colombia.
