Poland - Colombia
The last match of the second matches in the group stage of World Cup 2018 in Russia opposes the teams of Poland and Colombia. Both teams are part of Group H, losing their first matches. They are now pressed against the wall because victory will be needed to keep their chances of being ranked ahead.
This was supposed to be a match for the first position in the group, but now it is a match to stay in the World Cup. One of the two teams will be dropped and split points will put both teams in a very disadvantageous position.
A first match between these two teams will be on the official international stage. So far, they have met in friendly matches totaling 5. Poland won the first two matches and Colombia the next 3, the last one being played in 2006 when "los caféteros" won by 1-2. The upcoming match will be much different than before. Both teams need three points to keep hopes for ranking. Only one of them can reach the full set of points. If Poland repeats the mistakes of the first match, there is no chance of taking anything from its second match. Colombia will be looking to play the full game this time. South Americans have more experience and idea in an attacking plan that we think will bring them the three points. Our prediction for this collision is a victory in favor of Colombia.
All expected a lot of the Polish attack and they would transfer the good performance from the European qualifications to the Russian terrain. The Poles wandered in front of Senegal's defense line and the good looks were small. However, only one match has passed and we can not make any cardinal conclusions about the poor performance in the attack on Lewandowski and company.
It is known that the Poles did not impress with a good defense and the Senegalese took advantage of this in a perfect way. Players in Poland often did not cover their defense zones, and Senegal's fast-track attackers were able to benefit from it.
Carlos Sanchez played with his hand in the penalty area of his team, which led to a red card and a penalty kick. After the resulting early liability, the South Americans played a full-fledged attack despite the harder coverage of red card space. This gave effect and the result of the rest was equal.
In the second part, the Japanese players were more active and it was understandable, as the fatigue and the high temperature in the midday game had their influence on the ten of Colombia. Head-to-head in 73 minutes brought the victory for Japan by 2: 1.

Poland started poorly with Senegal, and their deconcentrated game led to Chioken's own goal in the first half. The second half the Poles did not improve their performance, but a new mistake by Krikovjak allowed Mbaie Niang to make 2: 0 for the Senegalese. West Brom's footballer made a goal in the closing minutes, but it was not enough for Poland to take anything from the match. Now they have a fight against the super strong team of Colombia, who will be equally motivated to record a victory Sunday night.

Colombia
Colombia was the big favorite against Japan and, as a whole, continued from this group. If, however, the Colombians do not defeat a "Polish squad", they will have great difficulty in grading at the 1/8-finals. Colombia lost 1: 2 from Japan at the start of the tournament as it affected the red card of Carlos Sanchez at the start of the match and the penalty shot for the Japanese.
The Colombians themselves made their game difficult days ago when they opened their annual World Cup final against Japan. In the third minute, Carlos Sanchez stopped the ball to the empty door of his team by hand and received a direct red card. The Japanese scored a penalty, after which Colombia made a draw, but failed to keep the score and eventually lost 2-1. "Los Cafeteros" will accept this match as a final because any loss would mean an end to the ambitions and hopes for the final table. Carlos Sanchez is punished for the match, but no other shortcomings are expected, and the good news is that Hamers Rodriguez will be able to start as a champion after entering as a reserve in the first match.

Forecasts
It is hard to predict the final winner in this game. The two countries are facing the wall and need three mandatory points. The strength of both teams is in attack, and it is she who will determine the winner on Sunday. We expect open, offensive and effective football from both teams.
Our forecast for Poland - Colombia is Over 2.5 goals in the game.
Poland and Colombia will face each other in their second match of Group H at the World Cup in Russia. In this fight, it can be decided in practice which of the two teams will preserve their chances of moving forward in the tournament and who will have to tighten the luggage for a trip back home. The two teams defeated 1: 2 respectively from Senegal and Japan and thus placed themselves in this unfavorable situation. The Poles played a poor match and were totally insidious in the attack, while for Colombia there was a mitigating circumstance - an early red card that left them with a person less on the pitch. Moreover, I think the Colombians have a more balanced and qualitative lineup, while the Poles rely only on their star Lewandowski, who, however, does not have the necessary support from their teammates. So I think the victory here will be for Colombia. Forecast - 2.
Colombia has a world-class footballer such as Juan Quadrado, Chames Rodriguez and Radamel Falcoo. Poland was very weak in its first match until we could see the real face of the South Americans after they played a whole game with a lesser person. Now, I think the team of Jose Pekerman will show good football, which has reached the 1/4-finals of the World Cup 2014 and will win against Poland.
Prediction: Colombia to win at odds of 2.20
