Colombia - Argentina Prediction, Picks and Tips
After being eliminated in the Round of 16 of the World Cup, these South American teams remained in limbo. Colombia lives its first weeks without Pékerman, who had a process of six years, as DT. For now they are directed interim by Arturo Reyes, strategist of the Sub 20, who already reaped his first success, 2-1 on Venezuela last Friday. In that friendly the 'coffee' went to rest with the score against but the weight of their individualities, added to the changes made by the opponent, allowed them to overcome the result with goals from Falcao and Chara.
Remember that they do not have the central Zapata and Mina, or James. Argentina saw how Sampaoli's rugged journey collapsed with the dismal World Cup. It also has an interim technician and a renovated squad that does not include Messi, Aguero, Higuain, Di Maria, Rojo, Otamendi, etc. Eye, Dybala and Icardi, who were not in the 3-0 over Guatemala, will be their main references.
Colombia has not lost in its 4 friendlies of the year; triumphs over France and Venezuela, and draws with Egypt and Australia. Giovanni Simeone, attacker of Fiorentina, scored his first goal with Argentina in the 3-0 over Guatemala. Argentina did not lose in its last 7 duels against Colombia. They will play this friendly in New Yersey.
