Where To Watch Colombia vs. Costa Rica Live Stream, TV Channel, Lineups, Prediction | Copa America 2024 Group Stage
Colombia can secure their place in the quarter-finals of Copa America with a win against Costa Rica on Friday at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.
After a 2-1 victory over Paraguay, Los Cafeteros lead Group D with three points. They look to continue their winning streak against a resilient Costa Rican side.
In their opening match, Colombia dominated possession with 68% of the ball and made it count by scoring twice from three shots on target. This victory extended their unbeaten run to nine matches, with seven of those wins by just one goal. They aim to win consecutive group matches for the first time since 2019.
Costa Rica pulled off a surprising 0-0 draw against Brazil in their first game, becoming only the third CONCACAF team to keep Brazil scoreless in Copa America history. Despite having only 26% possession and a minimal expected goals ratio, Los Ticos managed to frustrate the Brazilians.
Costa Rica is on a four-match unbeaten run, their longest since before the 2022 World Cup. However, they have never achieved consecutive clean sheets in Copa America. Historically, they have struggled against Colombia, losing nine of their 11 meetings, with their last victory in 2016.
As Colombia aims for the quarter-finals, Costa Rica hopes to defy the odds once again.

Colombia vs. Costa Rica Predicted Lineups, Team News
Colombia
Colombia might be without Jhon Lucumi for their match against Costa Rica. The Bologna center-back had to be substituted by Yerry Mina of Cagliari after 25 minutes in their previous game due to a knock.
Luis Diaz celebrated his 50th cap, while Camilo Vargas continued as the starting goalkeeper, with record cap holder David Ospina on the bench. Daniel Munoz scored the opening goal against Paraguay, and Jefferson Lerma netted the winner. James Rodriguez made history by becoming the first player since 2019 to register two assists in a single group stage match.
Colombia possible starting lineup:
Vargas; Munoz, Sanchez, Mina, Mojica; Rios, Lerma, Arias, Rodriguez; Duran, Diaz.
Costa Rica
Costa Rica made three changes to their starting lineup from their World Cup qualifying win over Grenada. Haxzel Quiros, Juan Pablo Vargas, and Jefferson Brenes were included in the squad.
Youngster Jeyland Mitchell, at just 19 years and 270 days, became the youngest CONCACAF starter in Copa America since 2011. Despite facing 19 shots from Brazil, goalkeeper Patrick Sequeira needed only three saves to secure his fourth consecutive clean sheet.
Costa Rica possible starting lineup:
Sequeira; Quiros, Mitchell, Vargas, Calvo, Lassiter; Galo, Bran, Aguilera; Zamora, Ugalde.
Colombia vs. Costa Rica Prediction
Costa Rica have shown they can defend well, managing to keep Brazil at bay in their opening match. However, they may face relentless pressure from Colombia’s potent attack on Friday. With key players like Daniel Munoz and Jefferson Lerma in form, and James Rodriguez’s playmaking abilities, Colombia could exploit any defensive lapses.
Prediction: Colombia 2-0 Costa Rica.
