Colombia vs Switzerland Prediction

In their only previous meeting in an official game back in the 1994 World Cup, Colombia won by 2-0 goals.

In this Colombia vs Switzerland Prediction, Colombia is coming as +120 favorites. Both teams have been undefeated so far in the World Cup but Colombia has one of the best defenses in the tournament, having conceded just one goal in four games played. Switzerland has conceded three goals in four matches and both teams allow just one goal per game combined and 1.58 average expected goals, so I expect a low-scoring grind in this high stakes elimination game. Take the under 2 in this one.
