More betting tips for this match
Alongside the main tip given at the top of this article, here are some other strong bets for Colombia vs Ghana:
Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners
We expect that corners will be hard to come by in the Colombia vs Ghana match. Neither team has been able to create too many corner opportunities this season with how they have played, and this figures to be another match with a low corner count.
So for this match, we recommend betting on under 9.5 corners, where 9 total corners or fewer between the two teams will win the bet.
Our prediction is: Colombia to win
Colombia vs Ghana has all the makings of a competitive battle between two sides that are both eyeing an important win. But we are ever so slightly leaning toward Colombia to win on the 1X2 market.
Colombia will enjoy home advantage, which they have capitalised on with their strong form at home. They remain good value to win with their odds, and we expect them to pay out those odds with all three points at home.
