The Colombians began their tournament campaign successfully with a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan. A win in this match would solidify their top spot in the standings, regardless of the outcome between Portugal and the Asian side. DR Congo, on the other hand, has already delivered a surprise, securing a 1-1 draw against Cristiano Ronaldo and company.

The South American squad is currently on a three-game winning streak, having defeated Costa Rica 3-1 and Jordan 2-0 in pre-World Cup friendlies. The Africans, however, haven't tasted victory since their playoff win against Jamaica to qualify for the World Cup. In their warm-up matches, they played out a goalless draw with Denmark and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chile. Colombia will primarily rely on their attacking stars Luis Diaz, James Rodriguez, and Luis Suarez, while DR Congo will be looking to Yoane Wissa and Cédric Bakambu for goals.
