Colombia vs DR Congo Preview
Colombia square off against DR Congo in this FIFA World Cup Group K clash at Guadalajara Stadium (Estadio Akron), with kick-off set for 22:00 on Tuesday 23 June.
Guadalajara Stadium is an open-air venue located 1,566 metres (5,138 feet) above sea level, with scattered showers and a temperature of 24°C (75°F) expected at kick-off.
Colombia opened their World Cup campaign with a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan at Mexico City Stadium. Los Cafeteros enjoyed 61% possession and registered four shots on target, with Daniel Munoz, Luis Diaz and Jaminton Campaz all getting on the scoresheet.
DR Congo began the tournament with a 1-1 draw against Portugal at Houston Stadium. Sebastien Desabre's side saw just 25% possession and managed only two shots on target, but Yoane Wissa's goal was enough to secure a share of the spoils.

Main Match Prediction
DR Congo +1 looks to be a sensible play on the Asian Handicap. You can get a price of -105 that they prosper from having a one-goal advantage and we anticipate a competitive Group K encounter.
DR Congo looked solid defensively in their draw with Portugal and could prove difficult to break down once again here. The Leopards are well organised, disciplined out of possession and capable of frustrating stronger opponents.
DR Congo have not lost by more than one goal in any of their last 16 matches, a record that makes them an appealing option on the Asian Handicap.
