Colombia vs South Africa prediction

Colombia recorded five points in Group F across three games, enough to finish in top spot. But South Africa accumulated six points in a second-place finish in Group E, with two other nations also gaining six points. South Africa racked up six more goals than their opponents heading into this round of 16 contest, emphasising the attacking threat in which they pose.

Whilst Colombia gave up just one group stage goal, South Africa’s offensive ability will see the former’s backline pushed extremely hard here and it would be no surprise if they were to conceded at least once. South Africa won two of three games leading into the knockout stage and they warrant backing via the double chance market to either draw or win this in 90 minutes.

Colombia vs South Africa tip: Double chance - draw/South Africa
