Argentina and Colombia will fight for the right to face Brazil in the 2020 Copa América final, with all bets off due to the recent history between these teams. Los Cafeteros have reached this stage against all odds, and while the Argentine side was expected to reach the semis, nothing will matter if they are not able to end that 28-year hoodoo without a major trophy.
Argentina will enter this game unbeaten after five matches, with four wins and one draw for Lionel Scaloni's men. Argentina's draw during the group stage against Chile prevented them from a perfect record, but that did not matter when they claimed a 3-0 win over Ecuador in the Quarter-finals. La Albiceleste has scored ten goals, while their defense has only conceded twice, which might explain their flawless run in the tournament. In the goalscoring department, Lionel Messi is the top scorer for La Albiceleste with four goals.
On the other hand, Colombia made it to the semis with only one win to their name in the tournament, and even after that, Los Cafeteros may reach the final if things go their way against the Argentine side. Reinaldo Rueda's team has scored three goals across five games, while their defense has conceded four times. Luis Díaz, Miguel Borja, and Edwin Cardona have scored Colombia's goals throughout the competition.
Argentina will face Colombia with all but one of their players available for this clash. The only absence for Lionel Scaloni may be that of Cristian "Cuti" Romero, who has not been able to get back in shape after picking up a blow to the knee. Meanwhile, Colombia will have a full squad to choose from, with Juan Cuadrado's return as Reinaldo Rueda's main cause for happiness.
This will be the 15th Copa América match between Argentina and Colombia. The outcome of those games favors Argentina with seven wins. Meanwhile, Colombia have only claimed three victories against the Argentine side, including one in their last meeting two years ago. Colombia carry a three-game streak without a loss against Argentina, and this fact alone may be the cause for Colombia's hopes for success in this clash.
