Colombia vs Ghana Tips, Predictions & 7/1 Bet Builder
Joshua Kerr
Colombia go into their Round of 32 tie as strong favourites to see off Ghana at Arrowhead Stadium in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Néstor Lorenzo's side topped Group K without losing a game, beating Uzbekistan and DR Congo before a 0-0 draw with Portugal that was enough for first place.
They conceded just once across the three matches and looked the more complete side every time out.
Ghana, on the other hand, sneaked through as one of the best third-placed teams.
They beat Panama with a last-gasp winner, dug in for a goalless draw against England and then lost 2-1 to Croatia.
Carlos Queiroz's team have scored only twice all tournament and are without their most creative player, Mohammed Kudus, who is out injured.

Colombia vs Ghana Tips
Here are our top three World Cup betting tips and the best free bets ahead of this game.
Tip 1: Colombia to win
Colombia have been one of the most convincing sides in the tournament so far, and they have the two best players on the pitch in Luis Diaz and James RodrÃguez.
Ghana have shown they can defend for their lives, as England found out, but going a full 90 minutes without conceding against this Colombian attack is a big ask.
With Kudus missing, Ghana's threat going forward is limited, and it is hard to see them getting anything unless the game becomes a shootout.
Tip 2: Under 2.5 goals
This has the makings of a tight, controlled game rather than an open one.
Colombia kept clean sheets against both DR Congo and Portugal, while Ghana have managed just two goals in three matches and set up to frustrate.
Two of the three group games for each side finished under 2.5 goals, and a low-scoring Colombia win (1-0 or 2-0) looks the most likely outcome. For a bigger price on the same idea, Colombia to win to nil is available at 11/10.
Tip 3: Colombia to win, Luis Diaz to have 2+ shots on target & Daniel Munoz to have 1+ shot on target
Our Bet Builder leans on the players most likely to test the Ghana goal.
Luis Diaz is Colombia's most direct threat and their best route through a deep block, averaging more than a shot on target per game at the tournament.
Daniel Munoz has been a revelation from right-back, already scoring twice and getting forward at every opportunity - he should find joy against Ghana's inexperienced left side.
Add Colombia to win the game and the three legs combine for a tempting price.
