Uruguay and Colombia do battle on Saturday in Copa America quarter-final action, as both nations look to reach the semi-finals after missing out in the 2019 tournament.

Colombia were pipped to second spot by Peru in the final round of group fixtures, while Uruguay quickly grew into the tournament to win their last two matches in the group and finish second as a result.

We say: Uruguay 2-1 Colombia

In what may be the closest game of the quarter-final fixtures, Saturday's match could definitely go either way, but we see Uruguay's slightly superior quality seeing them to a narrow win.

Tabarez's men have not hit their best form so far in the tournament, but if they manage to click with a full squad, they should have enough to get past Colombia.

Argentina and Ecuador square off in Goiania on Sunday in the quarter-finals of the Copa America, with a place in the final four up for grabs.

Argentina topped their group to reach the knockout stage, and they take on an Ecuador side who confirmed their fourth-placed finish in Group B with an impressive draw against Brazil.

We say: Argentina 2-0 Ecuador

While Ecuador proved themselves to be a resilient outfit against a strong Brazil side last time out, we see Argentina having too much for La Tricolor on Sunday, given the importance of a quarter-final tie.

La Albiceleste's abundance of attacking options could overwhelm their opponents' defensive line, especially if Messi keeps his strong run of form going.
