Portugal - Switzerland

Despite not winning the first championship game, the Swiss play very well and consistently, and have confidently won all the games played. They faced their toughest opponent yet, but managed to overcome the Colombian team. Colombia is strong, but the Swiss also have a very skillful and good football team. The stability of Switzerland has surprised the favorites in both European and World Championships, so it would not be a surprise if they have a successful score.

Good coefficients for both teams score and goals. Switzerland started poorly, but with each match they seem to be getting better, their offense more stable, and opportunities are always created. However, mistakes are not avoided, and their opponents have already punished them in this championship. Colombia has a great potential in their offense, but they have yet to show it. There have been several matches where they dominated and had opportunities for goals, but lacked execution. In my opinion, the Colombians either had opponents like Africa who were just defending or matches like against Portugal where they looked better on paper but failed to capitalize on opportunities.

Good coefficients for both teams to score and for goals. The Swiss started poorly, but with each game they seem to be getting better. Their attack is becoming more stable, and they always create opportunities, but they certainly do not shy away from making mistakes, for which they have been punished by their opponents in this championship more than once. Colombia has a very high potential in attack, but they have not yet been able to show it. Many of their matches have ended with strong domination and scoring opportunities, but they lack execution. In my eyes, the Colombians either had opponents like Africa, who just defend or had games like against Portugal, where they seemed better on paper but couldn't capitalize on their chances.

I believe Colombia is heavily underrated here. They are a very strong team, like a true Swiss watch. James is still alive and very much alive for the national team this year. Switzerland hasn't had any serious challenges yet, but realistically all the teams they played against were weak, while here comes a strong South American team, which is the dark horse in reaching the semi-finals for me this year. Colombia completely dominated against strong teams, such as Congo, and also developed Portugal the way they wanted and were clearly a better team. Ghana in the first round didn't have any chances and even got lucky to only let in 1 goal. I think the teams here are evenly matched, unlike what is being offered.

I think Colombia is severely undervalued here. They are a very well-playing team, like a true Swiss watch. James is still alive and very lively for the national team this year. Switzerland hasn't had any serious challenges so far, but realistically, all the teams they played against were weak, while here comes a strong South American team, which is the dark horse for reaching the semi-finals this year. Colombia completely dominated against strong teams like Congo, as well as Portugal, developing their game as they wanted and clearly being the better team. Ghana didn't even have any options in the first round and couldn't even put up a fight, only conceding one goal by chance. I think the level of teams here is much higher than what is being offered.

Both national teams are attacking well in this match, Switzerland in general has scored 8 goals in 3 games in Qatar, so the loss of Manzambi is big because he made a lot of plays for this team, but there are still players who are able to create a lot. Colombia's U-21 team plays well, but from what I have seen, their finishing could be better. I believe they will improve over time and it might happen today. Both teams have the potential to score, but I believe that the attacking lines of both teams are strong.

The Swiss team plays quite an efficient football and has only conceded one goal in each of the championship matches, but has also scored two goals or more in all of them. The Colombian team is less productive, but their chances are still very high, as their defense is not weaker than the Swiss and their offense is very solid. The Swiss team consistently creates many opportunities to score goals, as shown by their xG - before Algeria 2.45, before Canada 1.12, before Bosnia 2.06, and even 3.20 against Qatar. The xG statistics of the Colombian team are also quite good. They play quite effectively in the knockout stages, so I believe this line will definitely be reached, and I also hope Peru will achieve it.

I believe a very likely scenario is that both teams will be able to get at least four yellow cards. South American powerhouse Colombia, as usual for teams from this continent, has hot blood and shows a lot of emotions, which is beneficial for getting cards. Even in the winning match against Ghana, they received two yellow cards and a total of five in the group stage. And in every group stage match, they have received at least one yellow card. The Swiss team plays more calmly, but in only one European team match did not receive a yellow card. Considering the importance of these matches and the fact that the team is capable of launching fast attacks, and that the Swiss team has very experienced defenders and supporting players (two players are 29 years old and the others are 30 or older), I believe there can be a lot of fouls and yellow cards. The referee from El Salvador also seems to be a suitable official, as two of his previous matches had cards. This referee is also very fond of giving red cards and has been quite consistent in doing so recently - in his last five matches, there were three red cards shown.

A good bet for tonight's game because of the cards. We have an appropriate, strict and experienced judge - Barton. Looking at this lineup and the importance of the match, this bet seems very safe. Plus, knowing that both Switzerland and Colombia have good speed and physicality in their football, this bet looks particularly safe. Looking at the predicted lineup, it is clear that both teams will play a lot of aggressive football. Xhaka, Zakaria, and Lerma are very physical players, so there will most likely be many fouls. The whole match is forecasted to be under, so there will be a lot of tension until the last minutes.

Knowing the scoring rate of matches for Switzerland, an over 2 bet seems logical and good, and even though Colombia tends to have unders, I hope for some goals in this match.

Both teams have not yet experienced a defeat. Colombia is known for its strong defense and has only allowed one goal in this tournament. On average, Colombia concedes 4.8 corners per game, while allowing their opponents to average 2.8 corners. However, Switzerland is a team that will not just stay in defense and should score an average of 2.8 corners, as in their last ten games, they averaged above 8.5 corners per game.

Both teams have yet to experience a loss. Colombia is known for its strong defense while playing in a 4-3-3 formation. In the previous matches, they have only allowed one goal, even against weaker group teams. Colombia often applies high pressure, trying to stop attacks before they even start, and it worked for them against Portugal. Their opponent Switzerland has enough high-level players to create scoring opportunities. In the last thirteen official matches, Switzerland has scored at least one goal in twelve of them. I believe both teams should exchange goals today.

Both teams have not yet experienced defeat. Colombia is known for its strong defense, playing in a 4-3-3 formation. Until these matches, they have only conceded one goal, even against weaker group teams. Colombia often applies high pressure, trying to stop attacks before they even start and not hesitating to play rough. The referee for this match is the strict referee Barton, who in the last 12 national team matches on average showed 4.5 yellow cards per game and gave out 26.1 fouls. Colombia will play these matches more from a physical standpoint, and both teams are expect to put up a fight in order to advance to the next stage.
