Prediction and Match Analysis: Colombia vs England
The national selections of Colombia and England face each other in the final match of the 1/8-finals of the World Cup 2018. The duel is on Tuesday night with a starting time of 21:00 at the Discovery Arena in Moscow.
Colombia's team defeated the world finals by losing to Japan in their opening match by 1: 2. This score, however, did not interfere with the 1/4-finalist from the 2014 World Cup. Jose Pekerman's students won their remaining two games in the group - 3: 0 against Poland and 1: 0 against Senegal, thus finishing first. The unexpected hero for the Colombians is called defender Jeri Mina, who scored hits in both matches. Barcelona's defender defeated Senegal by 1: 0 in the last match of his country, and before that he scored an opening shot against Poland to give the classical success of the Colombians over a "Polish band". Now the challenge to Columbia is very great, but they have a strong team that can oppose England.
The England team defeated Belgium 0-1 in the last round and so went into the lighter stream of direct elimination of the World Cup 2018. However, it can not be said that a match with Colombia is an easy game. "The Three Lions" will have to play at the top of their chances, as in the group stage duels against Tunisia and Panama. Colombia, however, is a much better team and if the English do, it can pose a serious challenge to winning the World Cup. Leading teammate Harry Kain (5 goals) was given a break in the final match against Belgium, just like most of the three Lions players Gareth Southgate will rely on in the upcoming clash with the South Americans.

Defender John Stones, who scored two goals against Panama, had a slight injury and did not take part in the match against Belgium, but now he has to return to the starting team. Dele Ali is traumatized and is likely to miss the match, so Ruben Loftus-Chike will start as a champion again. Harry Kane will replace Jamie Vardi at the top of the attack after England's goal-keeper received a break against Belgium.
Probable Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Tripier, Henderson, Loftus-Chike, Linggard, Young, Kane.

Colombia - England: Forecast
The intensity and quality that were missing in the England game against Belgium must return, and we see much more than the "Three Lions" in the last third of the pitch on Tuesday. Overall, the support of both teams to score seems a good bet as this may be one of the most exciting rivalries of the 1/8-finals. Colombia may be fascinating in terms of technique in its ranks, but the movement and energy of England will be key and with Harry Kane at the top of the attack, we expect an exchange of hits at that meeting.
