Colombia W vs Canada W Prediction & Betting Tips (31 July)

After always failing to qualify for the quarter-finals during its first 2 participations in 2012 in 2016, Colombia gave itself some chances of being able to get out of this group A. The tournament did not start well for the Cafeteros who had suffered a heavy setback against the French team 3-0. Nevertheless, the South Americans were able to resume their march forward on Sunday by winning against New Zealand 2-0. A victory which even allows them to take the lead in this group, tied on points with the French. Note that before the tournament, the Colombians still suffered a defeat against Ecuador 1-2. On the other hand, Canada can still dream of progressing to the quarter-finals, which would be an immense achievement.

This selection had in fact been sanctioned with 6 penalty points after a member of the staff had spied on an opponent's training. And yet, the Canucks are only 3 points from the first two places. A victory would therefore allow them to overtake the Colombians in the rankings. Because on the ground, the Canadians deliver. Dominating New Zealand for their first match in the tournament 2-1, they then created a sensation by knocking down the French team at the very end of the match on Sunday evening 1-2.

Unsurprisingly, Colombia should be able to field its two best offensive assets. These are the striker Catalina Usme who scored 39 times in 80 caps and the very young Madrilenian Linda Caicedo (19 years old) who scored 12 goals and 24 caps. Suspended following his exclusion during the first day, center forward Ramirez will be operational again for this game. As for the other players to follow, we can cite the defenders Vanegas (Real Sociedad), Carabali (Brighton) and Caracars (Espanyol), and the midfielder Leicy Santos (Atlético Madrid, 64 sel, 15 goals) who distinguished herself in finding the fault against New Zealand.

On the Canadian side, several girls have already passed the milestone of 100 caps like defenders Buchanan (Chelsea, 151 caps), Lawrence (Chelsea, 136 caps), midfielder Fleming (captain, 134 caps, 20 goals) and attackers Beckie (107 caps, 36 goals) and Adriana Leon (Aston Villa, 116 caps, 40 pawns). Lyonnaise Vanessa Gilles (42 caps) is also available and she even scored the winning goal against Les Bleues on Sunday evening during the last moments of the game. Former Parisian Jordyn Huitema (83 sels, 21 goals) and Gunner Cloé Laclasse (38 sels) could also start.
