Rabat – The 2024 Copa America kicks off on Monday with a Group D clash between Colombia and Paraguay. Colombia enters the tournament on a scorching 23-game unbeaten run, but faces a stern test against a defensively resolute Paraguay side.
Colombia hasn’t won the Copa America since 2001, but recent victories over powerhouses like the United States, Spain, Mexico, and Brazil have fueled their hopes.
Their unbeaten streak is a testament to their consistency, but they haven’t faced a team like Paraguay in recent memory.
Paraguay comes into the tournament boasting a solid defensive record. They’ve conceded only six goals in their last ten outings, keeping six clean sheets. This defensive solidity could be the key to stifling Colombia’s attack.
However, Paraguay’s struggles in front of goal are a concern. They’ve managed just four goals in their last ten games, with only one in their last five. Their ability to convert any chances they create will be crucial if they want to upset the favorites.
This opening match, which will take place at 11pm (Moroccan time), will be broadcasted live on FOX and Univision.
Colombia’s attacking prowess will be pitted against Paraguay’s defensive organization. The outcome could hinge on whether Colombia can find a way to break through Paraguay’s defensive line.
With both sides possessing strengths and weaknesses, the first game of the Copa America promises to be a tight contest. Whether Colombia extends their unbeaten run or Paraguay pulls off a surprise remains to be seen.
