Colombia on the other hand have been solid without reaching their full potential. This team has many exciting players including Carlos Bacca, James Rodriguez and Jackson Martinez who are exceptional in front of goal. Colombia will be at home for this match and in South America that is a big advantage. Furthermore they will be at full strength while Argentina will not be which means that this may be the best opportunity the Colombians have of getting 3 points of Argentina.
Overall, I think that this match will be very exciting and it will be the match that I watch on Tuesday night for sure. I think that a lot of goals will be scored in this match so I that betting over 2.5 goals is good value. This is justified since both teams have great attacking options but have been shaky at the back. Also for an outright result, I think that betting on Colombia to win is also justified. They are at home and with Messi and Aguero out, I think both squads are pretty even on paper. I think in this case the difference may be the crowd since the home team advantage in South America is massive.
