Colombia will look to set the record straight after their 3-2 defeat to Uruguay, which was a blow, dropping them to third in the table and raising questions about their defensive vulnerabilities. Coach Nestor Lorenzo will demand a response, and the home crowd will expect nothing less.

Luis Díaz and James Rodríguez will need to step up to get the attack going, while the defense will need to strengthen against a red-hot Ecuadorian team. With qualification at stake, Colombia cannot afford another misstep.

Meanwhile, Ecuador is flying high. Their 4-0 dismantling of Bolivia showcased their firepower and defensive solidity, making it four games without a loss. They are comfortably in the mix, but a win against Colombia could take them further up the standings and send a message to the rest of the league.

Moisés Caicedo and Enner Valencia are the driving forces behind the team’s success, combining creativity and precision to dismantle the defense. Against an injured Colombia, they will look to exploit any weaknesses and extend their run.
