Match preview
Colombia face South American rivals Peru in an international friendly, with both nations looking to build consistency following mixed results in recent outings. Colombia come into the contest having maintained tight scorelines across their recent fixtures, including low-scoring draws against Mexico, Switzerland, and Portugal.
Peru have endured a difficult stretch, securing only one victory from their last seven matches while conceding 15 goals in that span. Their away form has been particularly fragile, suffering heavy defeats against the United States and Canada, though attacker J. Velez remains a goal threat having scored four times.
Recent meetings between these two sides suggest another closely contested affair. The two most recent competitive fixtures ended in draws, highlighting the tactical familiarity and competitive balance when these national setups clash.

Our record in Friendlies
Settled results only — every published pick is recorded win or lose. Full track record →
Based on at least 20 settled predictions.2 published markets
Peru have conceded an average of 2.0 goals per game on the road and 2.1 overall, having kept zero clean sheets in their seven recorded fixtures. Every one of Peru's last five matches has produced at least two total goals. While Colombia have participated in several tight affairs recently, their home average of 1.4 goals scored per game aligns well against a vulnerable Peruvian backline to produce at least two goals. Over 2.5 is not sufficiently supported given Colombia's recent low-scoring run, making the 1.5 line the well-fitting total goals call.
