Colombia vs Slovakia Prediction: Waiting for Entertaining Encounter

Prediction for the match between Colombia vs Slovakia, which will take place on May 31. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Colombia has a decent lineup, which has been making progress in recent years. At the level of such championships, they gained a medal only once - bronze in 2003. But over the past decade, they become regular participants. At the World Cup, the team made a productive debut, defeating Israel and Japan 2:1. In the third round, they did not lose to Senegal and secured first place in Group C, which the Colombians did, sealing a 1:1 draw.

It is rare for Slovakia to get through a European qualifier. The World Cup is only the second time they reached such a high-level tournament. They played in the world U20 championship for the first time in 2003, being eliminated in the last 16. They did not even make it to the semifinals at the continental championship but finished in fifth place. Before losing to Ecuador and USA 1:2 and 0:2 in their first match, the Slovaks took on Fiji 4:0. The final goal difference let them advance from third place to the playoffs.

Colombia has shown excellent results at the World Cup. The team won two matches and reached the playoffs. After that, they changed the lineup a bit, so they are prepared for the last 16. Slovak has a different story, as they barely made it out of the group without earning a single point in their previous two games. The squad does not have enough experience and skill to compete.

Columbia is one of the most spectacular teams at the World Cup. Before the tournament, they had a friendly with Nigeria, putting on a show, 3:3. In the final part of the World Championship, they played cheerfully, scoring eight goals against (2.67 on average) and conceding in all previous games. Meanwhile, the Slovaks are not so reliable in defense.
