Switzerland vs. Colombia World Cup Preview
One of these teams will advance to the World Cup quarterfinals, which will be a great success for either. Colombia is a slight favorite according to soccer odds, but many don’t agree with that view.

Switzerland Team News & Stats
After an opening tie against Qatar, the Swiss side went on to win 3 consecutive games. First, they beat Bosnia 4-1, then the host, Canada 2-1, before routinely eliminating Algeria in the Round of 32, 2-0.
What’s important when betting on Switzerland is knowing that 9 of their previous 10 games saw both teams net. So they concede and score goals pretty much all the time.
Likely Lineup: Kobel; Jaquez, Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez; Freuler, Xhaka; Sow, Manzambi, Vargas; Embolo
Colombia Team News & Stats
Los Cafeteros had a tough game against Ghana but managed to come out on top and advance. The sole goal was scored by Arias in the 14th minute, and from that moment on, the Colombian midfield took matters into its own hands and successfully led the nation into the next stage.
Colombia was a better team in this one, and we will only say that Ghana didn’t have a single shot on target in 90 minutes. By the way, this was the 3rd straight clean sheet for Los Cafeteros in the tournament.
Likely Lineup: Vargas; Munoz, Lucumi, Sanchez, Mojica; Puerta, Lerma, Arias; Rodriguez, Suarez, Diaz
Head to Head
Colombia beat Switzerland at the 1994 World Cup in the USA, 2-0. After that, they had just one more meeting, in 2007, a friendly one that saw Los Cafeteros triumphing, 3-1.
Switzerland vs. Colombia World Cup Predictions
Both teams play tactical, rigid football, with few chances. Colombia’s matches are low-scoring, while Switzerland’s are moderately efficient, though rarely with three or more goals. That and the fact that the stakes are high is why we have to bet on under 2.5 hits.
