Colombia v Peru Betting Tips [20 June 2021]

Colombia will be looking to go top of Group B when they take on Peru in their third match at the Copa America 2021. The two nations have had contrasting fortunes at the competition so far, and four points separate them in the five-team group. While Colombia are second with four points, Peru are bottom with no point, though Colombia have played two games and Peru one. In Colombia’s second game, they were frustrated for long spells by Venezuela and the 0-0 draw at the end said more about Venezuela’s resilience and Colombia’s inadequacies. Even in their opening win over Ecuador, Colombia were never really convincing, but at the moment they will be focused on beating the weakest side in the group to secure their place in the quarters. They go into this unbeaten in their last four matches, with three clean sheets in that run and they have no loss in 10 meetings with Peru.

Peru do not carry a very good run to the Copa America. Their 4-0 loss to Brazil in the opening game was just a continuation of their poor run that started at the World Cup qualifiers. They are bottom of this group as well as in the World Cup qualification table. With just one win in their last 10 matches, Peru will be desperate to kick-start their Copa America campaign with a win here. That remains an arduous task, considering their recent numbers. Peru have seven losses in their last 10 matches across all competitions, and have no clean sheet in those 10 matches. They go to this game having failed to score in four of their last five matches, and in those four, they’ve lost by two goals or more.

Peru haven’t done well in their recent encounters and go to this game lacking the needed balance in both defence and attack. Whereas they’ve failed to score in four of their last five matches, they’ve conceded two or more in that run. They meet a solid Colombia side, who are seeking a win to secure their place in the quarters and though Colombia haven’t done well in attack lately, they should show some improvement here. Go for a Colombia win to nil.
