Having lost out on penalties to Argentina in the semi-final, Colombia come into the game having exerted themselves for longer, with Peru losing in regulation time against Brazil.
La Blanquirroja also arguably holds a psychological edge over the Colombians after defeating them 2-1 in the group stage of this tournament, but previous form can count for little in a knockout match.
