Colombia 20/21 to reach the World Cup quarters with a win against Uruguay

Competition: World Cup
Market: Colombia to win against Uruguay
Odds: 20/21 @ Betfair

Colombia have enjoyed a great World Cup campaign so far and are dreaming of reaching the quarter-finals if they can see past South American rivals Uruguay.

Taking nine points from a group which included Greece, Japan and the Ivory Coast has certainly made people start considering Colombia as dark horses for this tournament. But they will have a difficult challenge this weekend when they come up against Uruguay.

Italy and England have both fallen by their sword in the group stages, but Uruguay will be without their influential striker Luis Suarez, who has been suspended for biting. As a result, Colombia are expected to make the difference count, and are being given odds of 20/21 to win by Betfair.

Uruguay reached the World Cup semi-finals in the 2010 tournament, and despite having a depleted lineup now by comparison, they will still be hoping to somewhat replicate their feat without Suarez in attack.

But it’s worth noting Colombia have scored an impressive nine goals, while conceding just two in their three group games.
