Shape: Colombia typically line up in a 4-2-3-1 that can look like a 4-3-3 in possession, with James Rodríguez operating as a free playmaker behind a mobile striker. Wide play and quick transitions are key, using Luis Díaz’s direct running while Lerma and his partner provide defensive balance in midfield.

Numbers: Recent qualifiers and tune‑up games show Colombia generating good shot volume but relying heavily on wide attacks and individual quality for high‑value chances. Defensively they allow crosses but generally limit central box shots, with set‑pieces remaining a key strength at both ends.
