Colombia do battle with Panama in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa America at State Farm Stadium in Arizona on Saturday.
The winners of this encounter will face the victors of the last-eight showdown between Uruguay and Brazil in the semi-finals.
We say: Colombia 3-1 Panama
Both nations enter Saturday's contest in buoyant mood, but Colombia will be regarded as the favourites to come out on top. Los Cafeteros have not lost in any competition since February 2022 and they should have enough quality in the final third to break down Panama's five-man backline.

A heavyweight South American showdown takes centre stage at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday as Uruguay lock horns with Brazil in the quarter-finals of the 2024 Copa America.
The victors of this mouthwatering contest will face the winners of the last-eight tie between Colombia and Panama in the semi-finals.
We say: Uruguay 2-1 Brazil
An entertaining end-to-end contest could be in store considering that eight of the last 10 meetings between these two nations have produced at least three goals.
With Brazil not quite firing on all cylinders and without the presence of Vinicius Junior, there could be an upset on the cards in Las Vegas, with Uruguay's positive momentum propelling them into the semi-finals.
