Both teams know that they are through to the last-16 where they will face either England or Belgium. Senegal have an easier path to the knockout stage needing only a draw to secure their place.
Colombia have recovered well from their shaky opening game against Japan that saw Carlos Sánchez Moreno sent off just three minutes into the game. Their victory over bottom of the group Poland last week has given them one last chance to qualify for the round of 16.
Senegal have been very fortunate in the competition so far, managing a win over Poland and a draw with group leader Japan. Their win over Poland came on the back of several mistakes including an own goal from Thiago Cionek. They gave Japan too many chances when the two teams met last week. They will need to correct their defensive issues ahead of Thursday’s game.

Colombia’s offence will be their key to victory against a Senegal side that has already shown it has trouble defending. Senegal are in the better position out of the two sides as they only need a draw despite this Colombia are favourites to win.
