  • Where: Azteca Stadium, Mexico City, Mexico
  • When: Wednesday, June 17, 10:00 PM ET
  • How to Watch: FOX, Telemundo, Peacock.

Uzbekistan Stats & Team News

This nation is making its World Cup debut, so it has no pressure. The last two games they played ended in losses, 2-0 to Canada and 2-1 to the Netherlands.

In both of those events, the White Wolves looked more or less solid. All those who believe they will use it to improve the goal difference at this tournament are very wrong.

Likely Lineup: (4-3-3): Yusupov; Khusanov, Ashurmatov, Nasrullaev, Eshmurodov; Hamrobekov, Khamdamov; Fayzullaev, Masharipov, Urunov; Shomurodov

Colombia Stats & Team News

Los Cafeteros won the last two games before the World Cup. The first was against Costa Rica, 3-1, and the second vs. Jordan, 2-0. This team isn’t as strong as, let’s say, it was 4 or 8 years ago, but it can go toe-to-toe with any favorite in the tournament.

The game against Jordan was Colombia’s first since 5 straight games that didn’t end with at least 3 goals. This team likes to attack and pressure the rivals, but their defense is kinda shaky against better attacks.

Likely Lineup (4-3-3): Ospina; Munoz, Sanchez, Lucumi, Mojica; Lerma, Rios, Rodriguez; Jhon Arias, Cordoba, Diaz

Uzbekistan vs. Colombia Head to Head

There haven’t been any matches between these two teams in the past.

Uzbekistan vs. Colombia Predictions

Colombia will win this game easily, and we are betting on Los Cafeteros to cover a 1.5-goal spread. They are much better than Uzbekistan in any aspect of play.
