Colombia vs DR Congo Prediction

Colombia comes into this match sitting at the top of the group K standings with three points and will look for a second win here. DR Congo didn’t have much possession against Portugal, but they managed to defend well enough to get the draw. I wasn’t overly impressed with Colombia, who was tied with Uzbekistan in the second half, so I think DR Congo could definitely take something from this match. Take DR Congo +1 in this contest.
