Colombia is set to face Canada in an international friendly match at Sports Illustrated Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams have no competitive games scheduled for the remainder of the year and will play two friendlies next month.
Colombia extended its unbeaten streak to six games with a 4-0 win over Mexico in a friendly last week. Jhon Lucumí scored in the first half, while Luis Díaz, Jefferson Lerma, and Johan Carbonero added goals after the break. James Rodríguez picked up two assists in the win. In contrast, Canada saw its unbeaten streak end after nine games with a 1-0 loss to Australia in a friendly. The team failed to score for the first time in six games.
The two teams have a limited history, having met only three times across all competitions, with two games being friendlies. Colombia has won two of these meetings, including a 1-0 win in a friendly in 2014. Canada has seen under 2.5 goals in seven of its 11 games in all competitions in 2025. Colombia is on a three-game winning streak, scoring 13 goals, and has not lost a friendly game since 2019, currently on a nine-game winning streak in such matches.
Based on recent form, Colombia is expected to register a comfortable win. The team’s current goalscoring form and record in friendly games give it an edge over Canada. However, Canada will look to return to its goalscoring ways after failing to score against Australia and has an unbeaten record in its last four games played in the USA, with two wins.
The match is expected to be an entertaining encounter, with both teams looking to make a statement. Colombia’s attacking prowess and Canada’s defensive resilience will be put to the test. With both teams having no competitive games scheduled for the remainder of the year, this friendly match provides an opportunity for them to fine-tune their strategies and build momentum for future games.
