Argentina vs Colombia Preview

Argentina extended their unbeaten streak in all competitions to ten matches by defeating Copa America debutants Canada 2-0 in the semi-finals. Head coach Lionel Scaloni has underlined that Argentina's path to the Copa America final has not been a "bed of roses" and he praised his players for overcoming "extremely tough" challenges on their way to a third consecutive major tournament final.

Argentina will have a lot of motivation for Monday's Copa America final, which will be Angel Di Maria's 145th and final match for the national team before he retires. Taking previous experiences into account, La Albiceleste will be confident of victory against Colombia. However, they will be wary of Los Cafeteros' exceptional run of form leading up to the showpiece.

Since their World Cup qualifiers match against Argentina in February 2022, Colombia has set a new record for the longest period without defeat, with their unbeaten streak now at 28 matches across all tournaments. Coach Nestor Lorenzo believes his team was rewarded for their bravery in a win over Uruguay.

Colombia, have reached the final four in three of the last four Copa America tournaments but fell short e every time. Los Cafeteros are now preparing for their first Copa America final for the first time on home soil since 2001. Although Colombia is understandably upbeat following their superb unbeaten run, they will enter Monday's clash as underdogs.
