Colombia vs Chile: Best Bets & Predictions
Colombia are short to win and have been tight rather than prolific. The clean sheet at evens is the better buy.
Our approach: take the clean sheet rather than the -230, and fade the goals — nothing about either side points at a shootout.

Colombia vs Chile: what’s at stake?
Colombia are the better side here and have the better summer behind them. They topped their World Cup group, beat Ghana 1-0 in the round of 32 and went out to Switzerland in the last 16 without losing in normal time — 0-0, then 4-3 on penalties.
The autumn has been more mixed. A 1-1 draw with Mexico in September, a 0-1 defeat to Paraguay in New Jersey at the start of October, then a 2-0 win over Peru that put things back in order. Néstor Lorenzo’s side have scored three goals in their last three games and kept one clean sheet.
Chile arrive in better form than their record suggests. Nicolás Córdova’s interim side lost 1-0 to Canada and 4-2 to the United States in September, but then beat Mexico 2-0 last month — the only team in this window to put Rafael Márquez’s side away. These two meet again in Santiago on Tuesday.
Team news and talking points
Neither federation had published a full squad at the time of writing, so treat any XI as guesswork. Colombian press reported on Sunday that Lorenzo has lost a member of his World Cup squad for both games against Chile, though the player was not named. The useful thing to watch is the Colombia front line: three goals in three games is thin for a side with this much attacking talent, and the one game they failed to score in, against Paraguay, they lost. Chile travel with an interim coach still auditioning for the job. The rest of the window is in our international coverage.
Colombia vs Chile prediction
Colombia at home against a Chile side that has won once in three and is still working out who its manager is. The caveat is that Colombia have not been scoring freely either, and the 2-0 over Peru is the only time in three they have looked convincing. That points at a controlled home win rather than a comfortable one, and the goals market agrees. Prediction: Colombia 2-0 Chile.
