Colombia are in the round of 16 for the second time. They were unable to progress beyond this stage in 2015 during their second appearance in the World Cup. However, they're starting off as hard-driving contenders this time and could be a force to be reckoned with in Australia and New Zealand.

They beat South Korea 2-0 in their first game before pulling off a shock 2-1 win against powerhouse Germany to confirm their credentials. They eventually finished atop Group H with six points despite a 1-0 setback against Morocco in their last game.

Colombia and Jamaica have met twice, with each side prevailing once.

France and Brazil had been largely tipped to dominate Group F, with Jamaica and Panama expected to become the first teams to pack up and leave. However, pundits quickly reviewed their predictions when Jamaica stood up to France in the group opener that ended goalless, much to the disappointment of the Europeans.

The Reggae Girlz proved that the result wasn’t fortuitous following up with a win against Panama and another goalless draw, this time against Brazil.

Jamaica ended second with five points behind France (seven points) to qualify for their first Round of 16 at the World Cup. Colombia would be wise not to take for granted the battle-hardened islanders.

Colombia vs Jamaica Prediction

Real Madrid forward Caicedo has been a game-changer for Colombia, scoring twice in the group stage. She's difficult to contain due to her pace.

Catalina Usme is another attacking threat to watch out for. She boasts one goal and notably realised 71 pressing applied against Germany.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer has been a huge asset for Jamaica, preventing 13 goal attempts against France and 17 against Germany. The combination between Allyson Swaby and Trudi Carter has been impressive, yielding one goal and one assist.
