There are only a few teams left in the 2024 Copa América, and this Saturday in Phoenix, Colombia and Panama will look to advance to the semifinals.
Los Cafeteros, undefeated champions of the ‘group of death’, were the team that displayed the best football in the group stage, with James Rodríguez playing at a superlative level.
Up ahead is the surprise of Panama, which against Uruguay gave a glimpse of what it would achieve against the United States. That victory on the second day was key to reaching the quarterfinals for the first time in its history.
The Central Americans already know what it takes to beat Colombia: they did it twice during the 2005 Gold Cup. The other four games throughout history have all been won by their opponents.
Colombia is the clear favorite to win this match at -300, while Panama is +875 to take the win. The draw is at +425.

Colombia vs Panama prediction, odds
- Tilt towards the money line: Colombia (-300)
- Score prediction: Colombia 2-0 Panama
Colombia are the big favourites to advance to the semi-finals if they win this match in regulation time. They won the last meeting 3-0 in 2019 and their performances in this tournament suggest that betting on an upset would be unwise.
