Colombia vs Panama prediction

This is a battle between two teams who have struggled over the course of the tournament, with Colombia in particular having had a WBC to forget. They’ve played three games and lost them all, giving up 19 runs. The most recent of those defeats came against Cuba when they were ambushed in the first inning, giving up four runs to put them on the back foot from the very start.

Following a precious 4-3 victory over Canada, Panama will know the importance of winning this match to give themselves a chance of qualifying out of Pool A and with scoring runs a problem for them across the competition, it’s pivotal that their hitters come through. Runs have been hard to come by in all of Panama’s fixtures and backing under 10.5 between them and the Colombians has to be favoured.

Colombia vs Panama tip: Panama to win and under 10.5 total runs
