Munoz&#8217;s club team-mate Jefferson Lerma will expect to start in midfield alongside Richard Rios or Gustavo Puerta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luis Diaz is the main man in attack, with 22 goals to his name in 74 caps so far while the ageing James Rodriguez remains as captain and should still start in the number 10 role behind striker Luis Suarez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uzbekistan-vs-colombia-predicted-lineups\">Uzbekistan vs Colombia predicted lineups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Uzbekistan (3-4-2-1):<\/strong> Yusupov; Khusanov, Abdullaev, Ashurmatov; Sayfiev, Shukurov, Mozgovoy, Nazrullaev; Fayzullaev, Urunov; Shomurodov<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Colombia (4-2-3-1):<\/strong> Vargas; Munoz, Sanchez, Lucumi, Mojica; Lerma, Rios; Arias, Rodriguez, Diaz; Suarez<\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/world-cup-2026-betting-tips-predictions\/\"><strong>World Cup predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/world-cup-outright-odds\/\"><strong>World Cup outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/world-cup-2026-fixtures-results\/\"><b>World Cup fixtures &amp; results<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/world-cup-2026-betting-offers\/\"><b>World Cup free bets<\/b><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Uzbekistan will make history when they face Colombia in their first ever World Cup finals fixture on Thursday June 18 (03:00 UK time).
