The two favorites entering the World Cup to advance from Group H were Poland and Colombia. However, both were upset in the first matches and if one side loses this match it could be eliminated depending on what happens earlier in Japan-Senegal. The Colombians are the 2018 World Cup Betting at Mybookie Sportsbook.
It was a particularly disappointing display for the Poles after an impressive qualifying campaign that helped lift Poland to eighth in the world rankings and brought them to their first World Cup for 12 years with high hopes. Dawid Kownacki came on in the second half and made a good impression. Many now expect to see him in starting XI for Colombia.Senegal was much the better side, looking controlled in midfield and more dynamic in attack, and that didn’t leave superstar Robert Lewandowski happy: “We played with no tempo or pace, very little communication. We were playing it side to side with no urgency or looking to move the ball forward. This type of play is not effective.”Poland has failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last nine World Cup matches, since beating Portugal 1-0 in 1986. Poland has lost seven of their last nine World Cup matches (W2), failing to score in six of those losses. Poland is the first nation to make two errors leading to a goal in a single World Cup match so far in 2018.Hubert Małowiejski, the assistant coach, said this about Colombia: “We are in the same situation. Colombia was considered favorites in our group, but the first game was not good for them. But, let’s not forget they played almost the whole game with 10 men. … We know how good James (Rodriguez) is, but we treat Colombia as a whole team, even if they have such a great player. The key point is not to let him play brilliantly, it is one of the most important tasks for our team.”
