What is the current form of USA compared to Colombia?
After failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, the goal was simple for the USA: shake things up in the national team and start winning games. Since that unforgettable defeat to Trinidad and Tobago, the results have been mixed.
There was the 1-0 win over Mexico in their last game. The Stars and Stripes also beat the likes of Bolivia and Paraguay and held France to a draw. However, there were also defeats to Republic of Ireland and Brazil, they have won only three of their last six friendlies (D2, L2).
Colombia, on the other hand, has played only two friendlies since their World Cup exit at the hands of England. They beat Venezuela 2-1 and then drew 0-0 with Argentina after winning two and losing two at Russia 2018.
Head-to-head record
USMNT does not boast the best of records against their South American opponent. Their last win over Los Cafeteros came courtesy of a 3-0 friendly win back in 2005. Since then, they've met five times, with the United States losing all but one (D1).
Games played: 19
USA wins: 3
Colombia wins: 13
Draws: 3
Who are the players injured from USA vs Colombia?

As for Colombia, their big absentee is Yera Mina. The Everton center-back is tipped to make his comeback very soon, but that will only happen after the current international break.
