Colombia and South Korea kick off their World Cup Group H campaign when they face off in the first round on Tuesday at Sydney Football Stadium.
We are entering the first round of the World Cup group stage with Colombia and South Korea hoping this is only the first of many matches coming up.
A draw could easily be the best call when Colombia take on South Korea at Sydney Football Stadium. The two sides look very evenly matched, and they’ll be cautious of letting down their guard this coming Tuesday. Three points here could prove pivotal in the attempts to win the group, and both sides are capable of booking a win, when they hit their stride.
