Analysis:
- Colombia: Unbeaten in their last 26 matches, including a recent draw with Brazil.
- Panama: Inconsistent with four losses in their last 10 matches, struggling defensively.
- Injuries/Suspensions: Key players missing include Jefferson Lerma for Colombia and Alberto Carrasquilla for Panama.
With star players like Luis Diaz and James Rodriguez leading the attack, Colombia’s form and depth will likely be too much for Panama. The prediction leans towards a solid Colombia win, possibly by two or more goals.
