Argentina vs. Colombia Reason for tips

Argentina was considered one of the main contenders after getting into the finals of the last three major tournaments to win the qualifying group. Something went wrong. The team at the moment is outside the qualifying area, behind the fifth position is only one point. "White-blue" is not outplayed their opponents in extreme four meetings, from match to match compromising results. Defeats in two extreme meetings were particularly painful. In the native walls wards Edgardo Bauza unexpectedly gave Paraguay (0:1), and on the road with a star Lionel Messi in the composition, they failed miserably in the confrontation with Brazil (0:3). Another misfire can significantly complicate the team fight for a place under the sun. Under severe pressure is the head coach. Already there are rumours that the negotiations with Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli, however, denied this information already in the local federation.

Colombia also failed to achieve the maximum result in two extreme meetings, but its shape looks better. In extreme five matches the team could not catch the only points in an away match with Brazil (1:2). The defeat with a minimum score in the confrontation with opponents who are in stunning form, can hardly be called a failure. "Kofeyschiki" occupy the third place in the standings, and they face the challenge to stay on the conquered positions. Make wards Jose Pekerman it will be very difficult. Only two points separates the current contenders, and after the full-time confrontation between the balance of power in the group can change appreciably. Much more convincing after the failure of the team in Uruguay (0:3) became operational in the field of rivals. Almost all of her lines are well-equipped.

Conclusion: Argentina, despite the recent setbacks, according to bookmakers, is the undisputed favorite of the upcoming meeting. Nevertheless, we should not deny that the team is in a deep crisis, and its roots lie in the psychological plane. Star players have lost confidence in their abilities, which return is not so simple. The opponent is not invincible, but in the offense it recently himself does not. Colombia played decent on the road with Brazil, recently trampled "albiselesty" in the lawn home stadium.
