Colombia have impressed many throughout their tournament and go into the second round as one of the only teams to have a 100% record from the group stages. With their fluid, attractive, high tempo style of play, it has seen them win the plaudits of many. The star of the show for Colombia has been the instrumental performances of James Rodriguez, who has been the heartbeat of the team. Rodriguez has been influential in both scoring and creating chances and for our first Colombia v Uruguay betting tip we are backing Rodriguez to score first at odds of 7/1 with William Hill. With the licence to roam in the hole, Rodriguez has caught the eye of many and will need to be stopped if Uruguay has any chance of winning this game.

The attacking flair of Colombia in the World Cup is further enhanced by Juan Cuadrado, Jackson Martinez and Teofilo Gutierrez who have all shined so far. Cuadrado’s pace and power down the right flank has caused the opposition numerous problems, which added to his trickery makes life very difficult for the left full back. With strikers such as Martinez and Gutierrez leading the line, you are guaranteed goals which are all important in the knockout stages.

Colombia are priced at 21/20 with Coral to win this match and that looks a fantastic bet given Suarez will be missing for Uruguay, for our next Colombia vs Uruguay prediction we are betting on a Colombia win.

Uruguay’s path to the second round hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The emphatic victory against the Italians was marred by the stupidity and petulance of star striker Luis Suarez, who bit Giorgio Chiellini on the shoulder. Suarez was the star man against England and would have been integral against the Colombians. Without Suarez, Uruguay’s record is poor and it will be down to a collective team performance that will see the Uruguayans cause an upset. With Suarez subsequent ban ruling him the remainder of the tournament, it cause see veteran striker Diego Forlan recalled to the side. Even though he is 35, he can still cause a threat to the Colombian defence and is a specialist at a dead ball situation.

Colombia’s chances of winning the game have significantly improved with the suspension of Luis Suarez. With Colombia posing much more attacking threat in the final third they should conjure up more goal scoring opportunities and take their chances. Both teams will probably start off cautiously, however as the game wears on, Colombia have more credentials and creativity to advance into the quarter finals of the 2014 World Cup.
