Colombia eye early qualification as Leopards seek upset
Colombia can secure their place in the knockout stages with a victory in Guadalajara, while DR Congo aim to leapfrog the group leaders following their historic draw with Portugal.
Colombia enter this fixture at the top of Group K after a convincing 3-1 win over Uzbekistan. Nestor Lorenzo’s side displayed the fluid attacking system that has become their trademark, and another three points here would effectively book their place in the last 32 before they face Portugal in their final group game.
DR Congo are celebrating their first World Cup point in 52 years after holding Portugal to a 1-1 draw. Manager Sebastien Desabre utilised a 5-3-2 formation to frustrate the European heavyweights, but he faces a tactical dilemma here; a defeat could end their campaign prematurely if results elsewhere go against them, potentially forcing a more adventurous approach.
