Tactical matchup
Switzerland line up in a 4-3-3, Colombia in a 4-3-3. Neither side holds a clear edge, so transitions and game management could be the difference. The midfield — Granit Xhaka and Denis Zakaria against Gustavo Puerta and James Rodríguez — is where the game is likely won. In a knockout tie the first goal and set pieces carry outsized weight, with caution often trumping early ambition.
