Spain vs Colombia Prediction & Match Preview

• Colombia are unbeaten in 19 consecutive outings across competitions.
• Spain conceded just three goals in the last seven games in all competitions.
• Los Cafeteros shipped three goals in the inaugural six World Cup qualifiers in South American zone.

London Stadium will play host to a high-profile international friendly as Spain take on Colombia on Friday evening. Both outfits ended last year on a high, meaning we should be in for a thrilling evening of football on the neutral venue of West Ham’s stadium.

Despite early hiccups caused by a defeat at Scotland, Spain cruised their way to the UEFA Euro 2024. They won seven of eight games in qualifying Group A, scoring 25 goals in the process. In between the European Championship qualifiers, La Furia Roja claimed their maiden UEFA Nations League title in June last year. They’ve done so by beating Italy ands Croatia in the final-four tournament.

It will be very interesting to see if Spain will be able to maintain their tremendous winning thread here against Colombia. The South Americans head into this unbeaten in 19 straight games across competitions. The latest of their successes came in a 3-2 victory over Mexico in an exhibition in mid-December last year.

Spain vs Colombia Prediction

Both teams will go into this in the highest of spirits. Spain won eight games on the trot across competitions. Head coach Luis de la Fuente can be particularly satisfied by his team’s defensive showings of late. La Furia Roja allowed only three goals in the previous seven matches across competitions. Colombia have also been very difficult to break down of late. Seven of the previous ten outings Los Cafeteros played in all competitions ended with fewer than three goals scored. We see the value in backing the Under 2.5 goals bet here at the 2.00 odds.

Alternatively, we will chase the 2.05 odds offered for Colombia to win or draw. The South Americans are unbeaten in 19 straight games across competitions. They got off to an amazing start to the CONMEBOL World Cup qualifications, managing three wins and draws apiece in the inaugural six rounds last year. Nestor Lorenzo’s troops have conceded only three goals in these six matches.
