Colombia vs Switzerland Prediction World Cup Today

Over 2.5 Goals (+138)

Colombia have been a very under-friendly side, and they're the main reason this match is listed at -168 odds to go under 2.5 goals. But despite Colombia's style and track record, I think there are reasons to back both teams to score.

While Colombia's last three matches have featured a combined two total goals, they've deserved more in attack. That was the case in a 1-0 Round of 32 win over Ghana where Colombia placed a whopping eight shots on target and could've easily netted two or three goals.

Switzerland are pretty darn good going forward, scoring eight times over their previous three matches, including an impressive 2-1 win at Canada, and they've also been leaky on defense -- with the Swiss conceding a goal in three of their four World Cup matches, including one apiece to Bosnia and Qatar, a pair of meh attacks.

Although I'm mostly leaning on Switzerland's style to help this game go over 2.5 goals, I also think Colombia are capable of scoring multiple times against this Swiss D.

All in all, I am intrigued by these +138 odds on over 2.5 goals.

What are three-way odds in soccer?

Unlike traditional moneyline betting in American sports, soccer uses three-way odds. You're betting on one of three outcomes: Home Team win, Away Team Win or a Draw. This is the fundamental difference from NFL or NBA lines. The draw exists because soccer matches can end in ties. Three-way odds account for this possibility.
