Los Cafeteros have the advantage ahead of this decisive game, as they sit top of the group thanks to two wins from as many matches. Avoiding defeat to Roberto Martinez’s team will guarantee Colombia wins the group.

Portugal recovered from a poor first game against DR Congo, which finished 1-1, by thrashing Uzbekistan 5-1. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in that victory to get his sixth World Cup properly off and running, and he will be determined to maintain that form in what is likely to be a very close match.
