Colombia vs Senegal Prediction: Not Much Fun

Prediction for the match between Colombia vs Senegal, which will take place on May 28th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Colombia qualifies for the finals of the world U20 championships more often. Since 2011, they have missed it only once and have played in five tournaments. At the same time, their best result was 2003, winning bronze. They also took third place in the recent CONMEBOL, reaching the World Cup. The competition in Argentina started productively. They snatched a 2:1 win over Israel in the opening game, scoring in the 90th minute. In the second round, they beat the Japanese 2:1.

Senegal has made a breakthrough recently in the U20 group. Until 2015, the Lions had never qualified for the finals, but in 2015, they reached the semifinals immediately but ended up in fourth place. They also played in two tournaments but failed to advance as far in the playoffs. Senegal qualified for the World Cup for successful performance in the Africa Cup of Nations, getting first place. But in Argentina, they got off to a poor start, first losing to Japan 0:1 and then drawing 1:1 with Israel.

The national teams started the World Cup differently. Columbia gained two victories and secured a playoff spot. The Africans earned one point in two games, so their chances of qualifying are minor. The Lions are the African champions, but the opponents at the World Cup are completely different, and they aren't ready for them. In the upcoming game, Columbia is the favorite despite lacking motivation. 

The upcoming confrontation won't be productive. Senegal is a very defensive team that does not let the opponents create many chances and does not allow them to attack. For this reason, both meetings have been under ones for the Africans. Moreover, in seven of the last eight matches, they either did not score or did not concede, so now we are unlikely to see an exchange of goals.
