Ivory Coast vs Colombia Prediction – June 17
Colombia got off to a great start with a 3-0 victory over Greece. They were the favourites and played like it against a Greek team that is not very threatening. [ad-1519080]

Colombia
This game against Ivory Coast is likely going to decide whether they finish first or second in their group.
They should be tested a lot more defensively in this one for sure. Though Colombia played a number of African nations in training for the World Cup these two teams have never met. There is a lot on the line and the style of these two teams should make for entertaining soccer.
South American teams are performing well at this tournament so Colombia should not be discounted in this group and this tournament.
They are the favourite in this one but it is not by a huge margin. Those numbers and many prognosticators agree which unfortunately means that there might not be much value on the Colombian side as compared to other options on this one.

Since this one could go either way you might want a better payoff.
Ivory Coast
The Ivory Coast has always been a highly considered program with elite players like Didier Drogba that have shone in club play. However, when it comes to international competitions like the World Cup they tend to fall short.
They have not made it passed the group stage in the last two World Cups but with one win already they are in great position to advance this year.
They beat Japan in their first game 2-1 and a victory over Greece seems likely but they can guarantee advancement with a victory in this one.
There is some great value on the Ivory Coast in this one. Its not that I see them as a favourite its that the payoff for them at +250 is really good for a club that can compete with most.
The total is also something to look at closely as the Ivory Coast has scored in 26 straight matches so even though Colombia had a clean sheet against Greece don’t think that they are going to be shutout by in this one.
I am loving the betting options on the World Cup and for this one I am thinking that the best option might be putting a wager on both teams scoring.
As a result the over looks very promising too. This one is very close to call and this way you can win with either side ultimately taking this important group stage game.
Total prediction: Over
Score prediction: Colombia 3 – Ivory Coast 2
