Israel vs Colombia Prediction: Expect a Total Over

Prediction for the match between Israel and Colombia, which will take place on May 21. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

The Israeli team is a team that cannot boast any great achievements at the youth level. However, their progress is evident, as they still managed to qualify for the 2023 World Cup. Almost all the players in the national team represent the local Israeli championships, but there is one foreigner in the squad - Tai Abed, who plays for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven. The Israeli head coach is Ofir Haim, who has had no significant achievements as a player, but as a coach, he has worked for several local clubs, including Hapoel Tel Aviv.

The Colombian national team at the youth level is much more successful and has achieved good results in its history. In 2003 at the World Championships (U-20), they won the bronze medal. Moreover, they have won the South American Championship three times - in 1987, 2005, and 2013. The Colombian side is sending a formidable squad to the 2023 World Cup, with plenty of their players already represented in European competitions.

Colombia is a far more skilled and classy team than Israel, which has achieved nothing in this age group in recent years. Some of the players already have experience of playing in major European championships. At the same time, the Israelis can't boast any of that, as all but one of the players are incompetent in their local league. Of course, the Colombians are far more comfortable in La Plata regarding the climate and are, therefore, the clear favorites for the encounter. As a result, we should bet on a win for the Colombian team.

Just before the World Youth Championships, Colombia played one friendly against Nigeria. Judging by its results, the team will be among the brightest and most entertaining teams at the World Youth Cup 2023. Already by the end of the first half of the game, they led - 2:0; in the opening stages of the second half, they beat their opponents - 3:1 and eventually wasted all their advantage and played to a draw - 3:3. We can rightfully expect the same from them now, that's why we opt for the total over 2.5, and we recommend Both teams to Score - Yes.
