Colombia vs Congo DR World Cup Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
An intriguing Group K clash awaits at the World Cup on Tuesday as leaders Colombia face an underrated Congo DR side in Zapopan on Tuesday night.
Colombia launched their World Cup campaign in positive fashion, defeating Uzbekistan 3-1 and another three points here would ensure their passage through to the knockout phase. Meanwhile, Congo went behind early against heavyweights Portugal, but produced a superb comeback to earn a point and give themselves a great chance to make it out of the group.
Congo have been building for a while now and have emerged as one of Africa's premier nations. I think they can avoid defeat here and perhaps scrape another draw, but I'm liking the value on both teams to find the back of the net at big plus money odds.
The Leopards have scored in 18 of their last 21 internationals and Colombia have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last five and conceded against a limited Uzbekistan side in their opening game. With this in mind, a 1-1 correct score bet also appeals, similar to Congo's share of the spoils with Portugal.
Luis Diaz continues to operate as the main man for Colombia and can make it two goals from two games at this World Cup by striking again here.
Colombia vs Congo DR Stats & Trends
- Congo have scored in 18 of their last 21 games inside 90 minutes
- Colombia have seen BTTS land in four of their last five games
- Congo have drawn three of their last four games inside 90 minutes
- Luis Diaz has scored in four of his last six competitive games for Colombia
Colombia vs Congo DR Head To Head
This will be the first meeting between the two nations. Colombia have won their last three World Cup games against African opponents.
Colombia Form Analysis
Colombia entered this World Cup as genuine dark horses and they did what they needed to do in order to secure all three points in a 3-1 triumph over Uzbekistan in their opening game.
Nestor Lorenzo's side were made to work hard and weren't assured of victory until injury time before Jaminton Campaz put the result beyond doubt after Luis Diaz initially put Colombia back in front in the 65th minute.
It's been an advantageous draw for Colombia - they faced one of the minnows of this World Cup in their opener and can confirm their R32 spot with a win over Congo before needing to face Portugal in their final group game.
Colombia Team News
No injury concerns for Colombia, who adopted an attacking 4-3-3 in the win over Uzbekistan - it will be interesting to see if Lorenzo sticks solid with that formation here.
Striker Luis Suarez will be hoping to make more of an impact after being kept quiet in his World Cup debut after 28 league goals for Sporting this past season.

Congo DR Form Analysis
It was a superb performance from Congo to pick up their first World Cup point in their opening game against Portugal.
Playing a back five in a defensive setup, you could have forgiven Congo for panicking after conceding the opening goal of the match inside the first 10 minutes.
However, Congo fought back brilliantly and ended up with more shots on target than Portugal. Newcastle forward Yohan Wissa was the hero, heading home a sensational goal to send the Congolese into euphoric celebrations.
Congo DR Team News
No injury concerns for Congo ahead of this game, with Wissa and Cedric Bakambu set to lead the line again.
