Senegal v Bosnia Herzegovina - international friendly match

Senegal is one of my dark horses heading into this year's tournament, and by my estimation has a really underrated roster. With the towering Kalidou Koulibaly leading the backline and Idrissa Gana Gueye providing defensive support from the midfield, Senegal won't be easy to score on. Sadio Mané has the pace and technical ability up top to run through any defence at any time.

Colombia have plenty of talent, but not at the same level and depth to be considered an international powerhouse. Although Colombia's defence is solid, goalkeeper David Ospina has made some crucial mistakes recently at the international level and comes into the tournament in poor form.

With that being said, Senegal can beat anyone on their day and will edge Colombia here in the pivotal final game of Group H.
