Colombia and Peru will play against each other at Estadio Olímpico Pedro Ludovico Teixeira for the third journey of Copa America 2021´s Group B (North Zone). It will kick off at 02:00 CET on June 21. This match recreates a game between a top team and an underrated team that can surprise any match.
The Peruvian team can consider a draw in this match as a victory because they play against one of the top teams of CONMNEBOL, if they base their game on a defensive approach maybe they can add the first point for them in the tournament. In the first match of Peru last Thursday, they received 4 goals against the host of the tournament Brazil.
On the Colombia national team, the expectations and anxiety are high because they can't win against a team like Venezuela with 16 players out for Covid-19 protocols. In the first match, they won against Ecuador 1-0 and that's enough for second place in the group led by Juan Guillermo Cuadrado who is in excellent shape.
In the history of both teams, they have played 57 games against each other in every possible scenario (Copa America, Qualifiers and friendly games) with twenty wins for the national team of Colombia, fifteen wins for Peru, and twenty-two draws in that games Colombia scored sixty-seven goals and Peru sixty.
