Odds: Colombia (21/20) Draw (23/10) Chile (13/5)Gamingtips Prediction – Colombia 2:1 Chile

Both sides have won 8 of their 14 games so far and the only major discrepancy is goals conceded.

Chile have conceded 21 goals in 14 games while Colombia have conceded just 9 goals in 14 matches (best defensive record).

If Chile are to come out on top in this game, they must break down a defense that concedes less than one goal per game on average.

A win for Colombia will give them a good chance of topping the group as they travel to bottom side Paraguay on Tuesday evening.

From a betting perspective, Colombia offer value at odds of 21/20.
