Colombia
Colombia line up in a balanced 4-3-3 formation, seeking to establish control through a strong midfield trio of Gustavo Puerta, Jefferson Lerma, and Jhon Arias. The attacking frontline boasts plenty of creative quality, with James Rodríguez and Luis Díaz supporting Jhon Córdoba up front.
Ghana
Ghana have opted for a structured 4-1-41 setup anchored by Thomas Partey in front of the defensive line. Iñaki Williams and Antoine Semenyo provide pace on the wings to support lone striker Jordan Ayew in search of goals.

Colombia vs Ghana Prediction After Confirmed Lineups
With both starting lineups now locked in, Colombia enter as the clear favourites to dictate the tempo of the game. Their technical quality in midfield and dangerous options on the flanks should allow them to break down Ghana's defensive block, though the Black Stars will pose a threat on the counter-attack through their direct wide players.
Score Prediction: 2-1
