Colombia had a bad start in World Cup as they were defeated from Japan in the opening game, however they manage to win twice afterwards, against Poland (0-3) and Senegal (0-1). They were eliminated from England at last 16', leaving their effort behind in this way. Last Saturday, they won 2-1 Venezuela in Miami. Radamel Falcao and Yimmi Chare were their scorers. Thid game against superior Argentina is going to be more difficult for Arturo Ernesto Reyes team.

Argentina made a 'restart'. They won 3-0 the weak team of Guatemala with many newcomers. Sampaoli has resigned and Lionel Scaloni is his substitute now. Biglia and Mascherano won't play in the team anymore. Messi will not perform in this two friendly games, as well as Gonzalo Higuain, Banega, Di Maria and Aguero. There are many newcomers on the squad. Among them, 21 years old midfielder Santiago Ascacibar had a more than a positive start.

Colombia are a strong team and they want to prove it against difficult opponents. On the other hand, 'Albiceleste' are trying to get back on their feet with all the newcomers. 'Cafeteros' can be a difficult opponent for Argentina.
