Tactical matchup
Switzerland line up in a 3-5-2, Colombia in a 4-4-2. Neither side holds a clear edge, so transitions and game management could be the difference. The midfield — Denis Zakaria and Remo Freuler against James Rodríguez and Jhon Arias — 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.
