Prediction Peru vs. Colombia
Peru may have the home advantage but will face a well-coordinated team brimming with confidence after their success at the Copa America. Colombia have lost just one of their last six matches in all competitions and have played attractive football.
Nestor Lorenzo has turned Colombia into a match-winning team and the team could also cause a stir in Lima on Saturday.
Forecast: Peru – Colombia 0:3
