Colombia vs Chile Prediction

Both sides have played a plethora of draws in their qualification campaign thus far, and fans can expect another stalemate on Wednesday. Chile have followed a risk-averse approach in their away clashes and it will be hard for Colombia to break down their stingy defense.

We expect Colombia and Chile to play out a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Colombia 1-1 Chile
