Colombia vs England Prediction 3 July 2018

Colombia takes on the visitors England at “Otkrytiye Arena” in a tackle of the 1/8 final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The match will be played in Moscow on Tuesday, July 3rd.

Colombia managed to make only 25 shots on the opponents’ goalposts in three encounters played. None of the Play Offs participants made less number of shots. The Colombians scored every first goal in the clashes against Japan, Poland and Senegal from the set pieces. However, unfortunately for the South Americans, this would unlikely allow them to promote to the quarter-finals as the English are the kings of air. Especially under the rule of Gareth Southgate who pays much attention to the standards. The Senegalese showed how to succeed in the fight against Colombia: rock-solid defense, little free space and personal marking. Thus, I am convinced that England is quite able to try Aliou Sisse’s model and defend itself even better. Although Colombia makes not many shots on the opponents’ goalposts itself, it also doesn’t allow the rival players to feel comfortable in attack either. With 11 footballers at the pitch the side hasn’t conceded any goal. The Colombians know how to shut out as the team reached the quarter-finals of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brail with only two goals conceded in four games. Two 0:0 draws in the friendly battles against Australia and Egypt on the eve of the Mundial are a good evidence of Colombia’s football philosophy.

Meanwhile, the fact that for the first time in history England has gained not a single clean sheet on the group stage of the FIFA World Cup should not misguide you. A goal from Tunisia was conceded from a penalty mark, a goal conceded from Panama was after the match score reached 6:0 and consequently the players relaxed a bit while a goal from Belgium was conceded in the fight where the reserve squad of the English performed. It should be mentioned instead that England conceded only three goals in 10 clashes of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia which was the best result, having gained three clean sheets in against Netherlands, Brazil and Germany.

Despite England is considered to be the favourite of the forthcoming encounter, it wouldn’t be easy at all to beat Colombia. As the price of a mistake is too high, neither of the teams would like to take a risk. In general, both sides don’t score and concede much. Thus, I wouldn’t expect for many goals combined in the forthcoming tackle.

Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
