Get ready for a mouth-watering South American World Cup qualifying clash on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti in Buenos Aires. Argentina, currently top of the CONMEBOL table with 34 points from 15 matches, will aim to extend their impressive home form against a Colombia side sitting sixth on 20 points.
Kick-off is set for 01:00 BST in the UK and 02:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France, and Spain. With automatic qualification spots within reach, both teams have everything to play for in what promises to be a high-stakes encounter.
How are both teams coming into this?
Argentina have been nothing short of dominant in their World Cup qualifying campaign. Under the guidance of Lionel Scaloni, the Albiceleste have combined defensive solidity with clinical attacking play, recording six home wins and conceding just eight goals in 15 matches overall.
Colombia, led by Néstor Lorenzo, have shown flashes of promise but remain inconsistent, particularly on the road. Los Cafeteros have managed only one away victory, and a recent 0-0 draw with Peru highlighted their difficulties in finding the net.
Our forecast
We back a comfortable home victory for Argentina, who boast the best defensive record in the qualifiers and have turned the Monumental into a fortress. Their ability to grind out results, even in tight contests, makes them favourites to take all three points.
For those seeking a secondary angle, we anticipate a low-scoring affair. With Colombia’s attack struggling for rhythm and Argentina’s back line marshalled effectively, the “Under 2.5 goals” market offers appealing value at most major bookmakers.
