Colombia had started Copa America 2021 with a tag of the favourites. However, Reinaldo Rueda's men did not have the start they looked at during the group stages. A win against Ecuador (1-0) followed by a draw against Venezuela made them suffer a bit.

Uruguay vs Colombia: team news, head to head record and Probable starting xi

Uruguay

The best news for the Uruguayan fans is that there are no injury concerns for them. Ronald Araujo is expected to come back to the team after missing out in the group stages. Diego Godin is also expected to start the game along with their main man at the back, Jose Gimenez.

Luis Suarz will definietley start this match from the go. Luis Suarez was reduced to a substitute appearance in their last match. But the Atletico Madird star will surely be available from the whistle.

Another good news for them is that Cavani has scored in the last tow games in the Copa America. Therefore, Federico Valverde's role to pass it to Cavani and Suarez becomes most important in their clash against Colombia.

Uruguay possible starting lineup:
Muslera; Nandez, Gimenez, Godin, Vina; Valverde, Bentancur; De Arrascaeta, De La Cruz; Cavani, Suarez

Colombia

The main concern for the Colombian team is that their drought of goals. The strikes who have been tried by Reinaldo Rueda have failed miserably. Duvan Zapata, Luis Muriel and Rafael Borre all have failed to find the back of the net in the Copa America till now. Their only goal from a striker was from Miguel Borja. Though his only goal has come from a penalty.

Yairo Moreno suffered a muscle injury against Ecuador and has since left the squad for treatment.  Juan Cuadrado is also suspended for the Uruguay vs Colombia match.

Therefore, Everton star Yerry Mina and Tottenham Hotspur's Davinson Sanchez will have to do the most of the work in the defense if they have to win against the odds.

Premier League Facts: Most Premier League hat-tricks By clubs

Manchester City | 44

Manchester City sits at the top in this most Premier League hat-trick list, an achievement largely influenced by Sergio Agüero. The Argentine forward, a relentless goal-scorer, recorded 12 hat-tricks, the most by any player in Premier League history. Every time he stepped onto the pitch, defenders were on high alert- his impact was inevitable. Now, Erling Haaland continues this legacy, showcasing his goal-scoring prowess.

Liverpool | 42

Liverpool boasts a rich history of goal-scoring excellence, with players such as Luis Suárez, Robbie Fowler, and Mohamed Salah leading the way. Suárez, in particular, had a remarkable record against Norwich City, delivering multiple hat-tricks and leaving a lasting mark on Premier League history.

With such good goal-scoring talent as Luis Suárez, Robbie Fowler and now Mohamed Salah, Liverpool has a tradition that is hard to beat. Especially against Norwich City, Suárez possessed a unique record: several hat-tricks over them have left their mark in the most Premier League hat-trick list.

Arsenal | 41

Arsenal has also been a dominant force in delivering Premier League hat-tricks. The club's most frequently cited serial hat trick scorer had been Henry, followed by Van Persie and Alexis Sánchez. Henry was particularly one-of-a-kind shooting that could hit both precision and aesthetic appeal and, in any case, it screamed specific praise for the great scorer that he was.

Manchester United | 37

Manchester United's heritage is that small one in which Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and Ruud van Nistelrooy all scored unforgettable hat-tricks. The best example of Rooney's explosive speed in front of goal happened at Emirates Stadium in August 2011 when he just gave one more fine display to cement Manchester United's grip on most Premier League hat-tricks.

Chelsea | 32

Chelsea's success is built on legends such as Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard and Eden Hazard. These players not only could afford to score goals, but they were true gamblers in high-stakes contests and made sure that Chelsea remained a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League's history.

Tottenham Hotspur | 29

There is a player who stands out above all others for Tottenham Hotspur; Harry Kane. As an English striker, he has continuously managed to find the net. Three goals in a match are routine for this young upstart and just add to an already impressive international profile.
