Colombia and Switzerland are the final two teams to meet in the Round of 16 in the 2026 World Cup, as we approach the business end of the tournament.

The two sides are just four places apart in the official FIFA rankings, with Colombia up in 11th and Switzerland sitting in 15th, suggesting this could be a close match.

Here's how we expect this game to play out.

Switzerland vs Colombia predictions

Switzerland vs Colombia looks set to be a tight match, with not much to call between the two teams.

Colombia have been stubborn at the back, conceding only once all tournament so far, but also have struggled up front, with only Uzbekistan letting them score more than one goal so far.

Meanwhile, the Swiss have performed admirably since their disappointing opening draw against Qatar.

They have scored eight in their last three, with youngster John Manzambi impressing in those performances.

The bookies have Colombia as favourites for this match, but it's entirely possible that they stumble at this hurdle.
