Colombia vs France prediction

Colombia pushed Argentina extremely hard in the semi-finals but eventually succumbed to a 1-0 defeat. Meanwhile, it was agony for France as they lost on penalties against Morocco following a 1-1 draw. To comeback from such a tough loss and compete in a third-place play-off will be very difficult for Les Bleus both physically and mentally.

Before the Argentina game, Colombia had racked up three goals in both the round of 16 and quarter-finals and with little pressure on them here with it being a third-placed match, this should help them play loose, with more freedom and rediscover that attacking potency. You’d expect them to be better set up for this fixture than France and so backing the Colombians is a play worth making.
