Murat Yakin’s side has enjoyed a strong start to life in North America, topping Group B before calmly dispatching of Algeria in the Round of 32. The A-Team have been anchored by attackers Johan Manzambi and Breel Embolo, who have three and two goals, respectively. Manzambi has been one of the tournament’s brightest prospects, dancing around defenders to create scoring chances in bunches for the Swiss. His status for Tuesday’s match is in doubt after exiting training early on Monday.
Colombia, meanwhile, is a veteran-laden bunch, with starters Daniel Munoz, Davinson Sanchez, Jhon Cordoba and James Rodriguez all on the wrong side of 30. Despite their advanced age, Los Cafeteros have been dominant, conceding just one goal in four matches. Munoz, Rodriguez and Bayern Munich standout Luis Diaz will look to produce the goods for Nestor Lorenzo’s attack, which has reveled in its chance creation but failed to tally the amount of goals one might expect thus far.
