Recent Form
Colombia’s Form: WDWLL
Colombia are in a decent form as they are sometimes losing matches which they can easily win. Atalanta striker duo Luis Muriel and Duvan Zapata who performed very well for their club are not performing that well for their nation.
Venezuela’s Form: LDLWL
Venezuela lost to Brazil in their tournament opener but they have the potential to stun big teams. If they can hold Colombia for a draw then it will be very good for them as they are currently last on the table.

COL vs VEN betting tips and prediction
Colombia is looking like a better side of the two, as Venezuela’s squad is severely hit with COVID they have fewer options to pick the squad from. If anybody from their squad gets injured then it is even worse for them. Colombia can easily beat Venezuela in this fixture.
