Colombia v England Preview and Prediction

Date/time: 3^rd June 2018 Kick-off 7 PM (GMT)

On Tuesday night, Colombia and England have a golden opportunity to make it to the quarter-finals of Russia 2018 as the pair go head-to-head in Moscow.

Both teams will be eying a place in the latter stages of the competition. The South American nation made it to the last eight four years ago in Brazil. However, the Three Lions have not made the last eight of a World Cup in 12 years.

Colombia headed into Russia 2018 as a mercurial team, and their group games only proved that tag, as they lost against Japan, only to defeat Poland and Senegal in their other group games.

Jose Pekerman’s side may have been unpredictable of late, but they have lost just once in their last seven games. They have also conceded only twice in their previous five games.
