The Colombian squad secures the top position of the group upon a victory. Bolivia must bag the three points to remain eligible for the quarter-finals.
Unlike his fellow Bolivian colleague, Colombian coach Hernan Dario Gomez repeats the same formation for the last game of the group stage.
After rescuing an important point against Argentina in the opening game, Bolivia was defeated by Costa Rica 2-0. Only the full scoring can help Bolivia claim their place among America's fittest eight, but the Bolivians have not celebrated a victory in the Copa America since 1997.
Even a defeat by the minimum difference grants Colombia a ticket to the knockouts. Even though he played a significant role in the first two games, we're yet to see the best of Radamel Falcao with Colombia.
Bolillo Gomez has found in the interaction between Abel Aguilar, Freddy Guarin and Dayro Moreno the perfect weapon to pierce any opposing defense. Bolivian defenders must keep them under a close watch, especially when they build the attack from the wings. Their ability to cross a ball becomes deadly when one consider Adrian Ramos or Falcao himself are likely to be lurking into the box.
What can Bolivia do to stop Colombia from bagging the three points? I believe they must meet their rival on equal footing. Juan Carlos Arce was not able to associate as expected with Marcelo Martins against Costa Rica, do you think Quinteros should return to his previous scheme for what could be their last game in the Copa America?
I believe Joselito Vaca is a key player for Bolivia. Despite his poor performance in the opening game against Argentina, his sheer experience gives Bolivia a needed edge against Colombia. Edivaldo Rojas gained his place in the starting eleven scoring the first goal of the competition, but perhaps Bolivia should try a different approach to catch Colombia by surprise on Sunday's evening.
Colombian players grow in confidence as the games go by, and I think their coach is making the right call by repeating the same formation for a third consecutive time. If Radamel Falcao manages to find his place in Cafeteros's general scheme, I believe Colombia is likely to become one of the top candidates to lift the Copa America.
Substitute Teofilo Gutierrez has been playing the last minutes of each game, and his presence can seriously boost Colombia's attack. His physical superiority is something Bollllo Gomez should take under consideration as he prepares to face Bolivia.
Mario Yepes, Juan Zuñiga and Luis Amaranto Perea have also played a major role in the first two games. They provide a security net in the back line as well as a strong presence on the wings, with the ability to start a counter-attack in a matter of seconds.
As long as Colombia maintains the level we've seen in the last two games, I don't think Bolivia stands a chance. What's your opinion?
