Senegal takes on the visitors Colombia at “Cosmos Arena” in the closing fight of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia group stage. The match will be played in Samara on Thursday, June 28th.
Despite the high level of organization, Senegal also suffers from the occasional lapse of concentration. The side may show solid football and cover all free zones, but all of a sudden it can collapse in a harmless situation. The Senegalese are not capable to maintain the same level of game during the whole tackle which was proved buy three goals conceded from Japan and Poland while the team had taken the lead in those battles. In other words, the side cannot protect its lead plus it regularly struggles from the goalkeeper’s mistakes. However, “Les Lions de la Teranga” is the “running” side which rapidly switches from defense to attack. The Senegalese have scored most of their goals in fast attacks when they had enough space for the movement. And the upcoming hosts are likely to get those favourable conditions for showing their speed as the Colombians will be forced to play only for a victory, leaving many free zones in defense. Besides, “Les Lions de la Teranga” will have significant advantage in physical ability which they may use in the set pieces.

As for Colombia, the side has strengthened itself in a status of a top-team, having smashed the Poles with 3:0 scoreline. Juan Cuadrado, James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao turned that match into astonishing and spectacular performance as it is rather difficult task for any opponent to hold that magnificent trio. It is worth mentioning that “Los Cafeteros” have scored goals in all seven games conducted under the rule of Jose Pekerman at the World Cups. At the same time, defense is a weak spot of the side as its backs are lacking experience and cool head. Besides, all defenders are very fast and play extremely brave and high, believing that they will be able to overtake any opponent which sometimes leads to lapse of concentration.
Colombia has regularly conceded goals in the South America’s Preliminary Competition for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, having earned only four clean sheets in 14 encounters conducted (with the exception of tackles against helpless outsiders Venezuela and Bolivia). While Senegal is an extremely talented team which scored at least two goals in last six official battles. The upcoming hosts will be quite satisfied with a draw in the forthcoming encounter, however, it will be a rather dangerous attempt to hold 0:0 draw against such strong rival. Consequently, the Senegalese will have to score some goals for securing themselves that promise a furious and eye-catching fight with mutual goals combined.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
