Poland vs Colombia Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday, the second match day will take place in Group H. In both opening games there were little surprises. Senegal secured three points against Poland thanks to an own goal and a blunder by Poland. Colombia weakened themselves with a red card in the third minute – the logical consequence was a narrow defeat of the South Americans against Japan. In this article, we look at the losers of the Group H start-up games of the 2018 World Cup in Russia and have prepared bets on the number of goals for Poland against Colombia. For Poland and Colombia it is the game of last hope. Both teams weakened on the defensive and conceded two goals each. The match in Kazan will kick off at 19:00. In particular, the two superstars Robert Lewandowski and Falcao are required. After all, no one convinced in the first game. The Colombians are slightly favored in the match Poland against Colombia betting odds after.
Poland:
Poland was outstanding in qualifying for the finals in Russia. The group E dominated the Poles, only against Denmark conceded the troupe of coach Adam Nawalka defeat. Especially the captain Robert Lewandowski was mainly responsible for the sovereign qualification. The striker scored 16 goals and was thus at over half of all goals of the Poles scorer. With this unbelievable value the Bayern star was the top scorer of the entire European qualification. Also in the preparation for the 2018 World Cup in Russia convinced the Poles. It was different in the opening match at the World Cup. Poland were disappointed with Senegal and suffered a bitter 1: 2 defeat.
The approximately 20,000 followers of Poland in Moscow saw a weak performance of captain and hopeful Robert Lewandowski. The striker only had 14 ball contacts in the match, so Lewandowski was not responsible for the single goal! Only in the 86th minute Krychowiak scored the first World Cup 2018 goal of Poland. As Japan won their game against Colombia, the Europeans are already under pressure in the second game. Especially Robert Lewandowski will be challenged against Colombia, because the star carries the hopes of a whole nation on his shoulders. After all, the Poles are the first time since 2006 back in a World Cup finals. In the event of another defeat, the 2018 World Cup would be over for the Poles early on. Nevertheless, in the group match Poland against Colombia, the tip for a Polish victory brings higher odds than for a success of the Colombians.
Colombia:
The situation is similar for Colombia. The South Americans also conceded a 1: 2 defeat against Japan. The game was steered very early in an unfavorable course for the Colombians. Already in the third minute Carlos Sanchez got the red card. The midfielder parried a shot in the box with his arm. The following penalty Shinji Kagawa transformed sovereign to 0: 1. One of the top players of the Colombians came on in the 59th minute. James Rodriguez was struck by muscle problems in his left calf and could not act against Japan from the start. The question is whether the 26-year-old is against Poland on the grid. In addition to Rodriguez, Colombia has other top players in its own ranks: Falcao, Cuadrado and Ospina. For Radamel Falcao, the final round in Russia is his first World Cup tournament.
Four years ago, he was injured, but Colombia made it to the quarter-finals. Even then, José Pékerman was on the sideline and coached Colombia to the best finish at a world championship in history. At the opening match in the 2018 World Cup in Russia Pékerman said that his team has made a great effort. Los cafeteros are in desperate need of Poland’s first victory in this tournament, otherwise the South Americans have to plan their return journey early. Especially Falcao should get a top performance. Although in the match between Poland and Colombia, betting on a Colombian victory offers lower betting odds than the odds for a Polish triumph, those bets involve a serious risk.
