### Prediction

Colombia’s flair going forward against Switzerland’s disciplined, structured defense sets up a tight, tactical contest. Switzerland has shown great consistency but has lacked star power and hierarchy in the past, while Colombia’s attacking depth could be the difference-maker in a low-scoring, closely fought 90 minutes — expect this one to go right down to the wire, possibly into extra time.
