Our prediction is 40% for Colombia, 34% for draw and 26% for Ghana. Most likely exact score: 1-0. Promotion: Colombia (57% vs 43%). Status: NOBET

BTTS - will both teams score?

Typ BTTS: no. Colombia has more creativity and a better positional attack structure, but Ghana is one of the most awkward opponents in the tournament. Ghana knows how to suffer without the ball, close the middle and keep the opponent in the half-chance zone. Typ goes towards Colombia, but a draw after 90 minutes is very real. Control of one side and the limited volume of underdog situations are more important here, so it is more likely that at least one team will finish the match without a goal. The model gives 39% on BTTS Yes and 61% on BTTS No, with expected goals Colombia 1.25, Ghana 0.80. Status: BET

Typ: under 2.5. Colombia has more creativity and a better positional attack structure, but Ghana is one of the most awkward opponents in the tournament. Ghana knows how to suffer without the ball, close the middle and keep the opponent in the half-chance zone. Typ goes towards Colombia, but a draw after 90 minutes is very real.
