Colombia vs Switzerland Preview

A pair of sides who will be chasing a run to at least the World Cup quarter finals meet here, as Colombia take on Switzerland.

Both sides came through potentially tricky groups in first place and have reaped the benefits since, making this clash an intriguing one.

Overcoming Portugal in their pool was a good achievement for Colombia, who then saw off Ghana to progress to the last 16.

Switzerland had to negotiate a tricky group alongside co-hosts Canada before beating Algeria to reach this stage.

In recent times, both countries have enjoyed solid major tournament runs, so to see them at this stage is no surprise.

However, both will fancy their chances from this point in though and they will see this one as very winnable.

All three results are in play here and let’s take a look ahead to Colombia vs Switzerland:

On paper, these two sides are very closely matched and the burgeoning individual quality in both ranks is impressive.

However, Colombia appear to be a country going places in tournament football and they have the bit between their teeth at the moment.

Defensively, they are hugely assured, with clean sheets against Portugal and Ghana reflective of that.

In forward areas, they attack with real pace and with wing backs that also cause plenty of problems, they will be an overwhelming prospect for this Swiss side.

There won’t be much in it, but Colombia look good value to win this one.
