Tuesday’s Best 2026 World Cup Picks & Predictions: Switzerland vs. Colombia
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Switzerland (+260) vs. Colombia (+125) | Draw (+200) | O/U 2.5 (+136/-168)
Switzerland pounded Algeria 2-0 in the Round of 32, its third consecutive victory since playing to a 1-1 draw against Qatar in the opening match of the World Cup. Meanwhile, Colombia eased past Ghana 1-0 in the Round of 32 to get here. After a 3-1 win against Uzbekistan in the opening match, Colombia has kept a clean sheet in three consecutive matches.
In Switzerland’s win over Algeria, Breel Embolo fired out of the chute with a goal at 10′ to set the tone. Dan Ndoye netted an insurance marker at 46′, and the Fennecs never had a chance. The Swiss had five shots on goal, to just two for Algeria, despite just a 44% possession rate. When the Swiss had the ball, they weren’t terribly accurate, hitting just 81% (355-of-438). Switzerland did a good job pressuring Algeria, however, posting 28 touches in the opposition box, to just 15 for the Fennecs, while winning four corners.
Colombia did a good job grabbing an early lead, as Jhon Arias netted one at 14′. Los Cafeteros appeared to be well on their way to a big offensive production, but there would be no more scoring. Colombia dominated possession at 61%, while completing 91% (532 of 586) passes. It had 19 touches in the opposition box, to just eight for the Black Stars, while posting 32 accurate long balls, to just nine for Ghana. It won just three corners, while Ghana won only two. Colombia has managed four corners won on average in four matches in this World Cup.
Let’s take Colombia to qualify for the next round, whether it is in full time or on penalties. We’ll also go low on the total. Additionally, Colombia is averaging 4.0 corners per match in this World Cup, while Switzerland has averaged just 3.0 corners per match in the past two outings after going for 10 corners won against Qatar and seven against Canada. Let’s go low on the corners.
Picks: Colombia To Qualify for the Next Round (-164), Under 2.5 Goals (-162) & Under 9.5 Total Corners (-172)
