Head to Head

Colombia have a slight edge over Switzerland, with two victories to one.

Switzerland Form

Switzerland produced a solid performance against Algeria in their round of 32 clash last weekend, winning by two goals to nil.

The Swiss had 45% possession and 11 shots in the game, with five attempts on target.

Before that victory, the Rossocrociati did not have the best start to the FIFA World Cup Group B campaign, drawing 1-1 with Qatar before thumping Bosnia-Herzegovina 4-1 and edging Canada 2-1.

The Nati have won three of their last five matches, with two draws. They scored ten goals and conceded four.

Switzerland must produce another clinical display to beat Colombia in their round of 16 clash, as their opponents seldom concede, and they have been inconsistent in their last seven games, with four victories and three draws.

Colombia Form

Colombia faced Ghana in the round of 32 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup last weekend, securing a narrow 1-0 victory.

Los Cafeteros had 62% possession and 28 shots in the game, with eight attempts on target.

Before that, La Tricolor defeated Uzbekistan 3-1 in their opening Group K match and edged DR Congo 1-0 before drawing 0-0 with Portugal to progress to the knockout stages of the tournament.

Los Cafeteros have won four of their last five matches, with one draw. They scored seven goals and conceded one.

Colombia have proven to be a tough nut to crack at this year's global showpiece, having conceded just one goal in four matches, and they are unbeaten in their last six games, which includes five victories.
